Blizzard reveal plans for next 4 years, including new MMO, more WoW expansions, D3 expansions Werthead Send a noteboard - 17/12/2010 10:56:55 AM
A recent leak from Blizzard (via the Chinese office, which has resulted in sackings there) shows a production slate of their proposed releases over the next four years. Whilst the dates are not set in stone, they do reveal some of Blizzard's thoughts:

Q4 2011: Diablo 3
Q4 2011: StarCraft 2: Legacy of the Swam
Q2 2012: World of WarCraft: Expansion 4
Q1 2013: StarCraft 2: Heart of the Void
Q2 2013: Diablo 3: Expansion 1
Q4 2013: World of WarCraft: Expansion 5
Q4 2013: Titan
Q4 2014: Diablo 3: Expansion 2

Amongst the high optimism on display is the interesting title Titan, which fans immediately guessed was Blizzard's long-rumoured-to-be-in-development new MMO franchise. A Blizzard rep confirmed this, but would say no more about it. However, Blizzard had previously said that the new MMO was going to be a whole new IP (by the time it comes out, Blizzard's first original title in over 15 years), meaning this isn't the fan-suggested Worlds of StarCraft, but a whole new world.

EDIT: The WoW movie mentioned is the mooted film adaptation directed by Sam Raimi, which is still stuck in development hell. The release schedule for that seems inordinately optimistic.

Keep in mind it's Blizzard, who won't release a game til it's ready and polished. Macharius - 17/12/2010 02:13:45 PM 374 Views

It's an interesting release window for Titan: the same quarter as the last Wow expansion. lord-of-shadow - 17/12/2010 03:10:08 PM 419 Views
