Yeah, I think they have mentioned a project(not titan by name) that isn't based off of existing IP. But, it's an easy assumption to make that the project they were talking about will probably be 'titan'.Yvl9921 said:
Zerg expac, protoss expac, Diablo III, WoW X4, Wow X5, Diablo III expac.
Warcraft 4 isn't reasonable because WoW has officially taken over that storyline. And titan is supposedly a new IP.
In an interview, a Blizzard employee said "On Mists of Pandaria: "Most of the time when we do anything panda-related it's going to be a comic book or a figurine or something like that." "
So I doubt one of the expansions will be that, I also hope it isn't, but who knows it might be.
You and 50 million other Blizzard fans.tehweave said:
Seriously, not trying to knock them but Blizzard doesn't have the best history of staying on schedule. There's a reason that people place a trademark next to "when it's done" on their forums.
Blizzard fail to see the fact that people subscribe to get CONTENT FOR 'FREE', NOT TO PAY FOR MORE GOD DAMN EXPANSION PACKS.
Why do we even subscribe now blizzard? (I stopped 2 years ago actually due to crap like this) You want to release more expansions because people clear content so quickly... and now you're just a joke.

1. Heart of the Swarm
2. Diablo 3
3. Whatever name the Protoss expansion will have
4. Diablo 3 expansion
5. New WoW expansion
That leaves us with 1 more. This could be another WoW expansion, another Diablo 3 expansion or another Starcraft 2 expansion. And no, it's not Titan, that thing isn't coming out for another 10 years...
There, I just told you Blizz's lineup for the next three years. Next up, Valve's lineup for the next three years - DotA2, more hats!

My thoughts exactly. /internet high five for perceptionAngryMongoose said:
Campaign for an already existing game that exists largely as a multiplayer (and is thus influenced by a campaign as CoD is by a map pack) doesn't count as a game in my book and WoW has already been on a yearly expansion plan. In fact, last I heard of it, they wanted to change that to a 6 month rotation, so you might just be looking at 3 WoW expansions there really.
Goddamn, that picture... they might as well have painted Kotick with a chain around Blizzard's neck and a text bubble saying "good *****"Scrumpmonkey said:Let me see.. 4 expansions, diablo three and something else only equals "Six titles" in the losest possible terms. When did blizzard stop being a gams company and stary being one massive holding pattern?
Oh right yeah...
Oh and Kudos Activision for wanting "Proven titles" yeah we wouldn't want any yucky original ideas in your stagnation and bllshit salad now would we?
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for sequels, I think they can be terrific things, I love most sequels that are good and don't ***** at them on principle. But Christ, learn to grow instead of attaching yourself to a huge company like some reverse parasite that just funnels money into it. I mean, if ActiVision was a fantastic company that repeatedly did risky and daring things, I'd even be ok with it, but c'mon.
With the Exception of the SCII titles I have no interest in anything other than Diablo III. And ever since they stated that even the single player for that would be online only I have firmly planted myself on the "No sale" list. I have no intention of picking it up until I can play it offline.
I never got into WoW, partly because I don't have the time for it, so expansions for it or a new MMO do not interest me.

This is pretty much expected
2010 Star2 and Wow:Cataclysm
2011 D3
2012 Heart of the Swarm, and the next WoW expansion (2 year gap is the norm)
2013 D3 Expansion
2014 Protoss Campaign and more then likely a WoW expansion (maintaining the 2 year cycle).
That's 6 without even releasing the new MMO. And no new titles. And maintaining Blizzards usual release cycle.

You will never see WarCraft 4 or StarCraft Ghost. Any more so than you'll see WarCraft Adventures: Lord of the Clans.

My SC2 updates without requiring any further fee. Then again, you may be referring to the seperate campaign thing. While I can understand the change from the old formula upsetting some people the game is as long as a good RTS should be. Trilogy =/= Money grab. To me, the trilogy concept suggests their desire to improve the other episodes instead of releasing a behemoth with a rushed storyline and lackluster missions.
As does WoW, so long as I keep up the subscription. In fact, they're going to be releasing a new wave of heroic dungeons(We're due for 'em, Zandalari heroics have gotten a tad dry), another raid and Transmogrification, which will allow RPers like myself to lend the appearance of other items to my legitimate PvE gear(Well, so long as it's within the restrictions. Of course, seeing as my RP gear is the Tirisfal Regalia, I don't see why it wouldn't be). I keep my subscription up and running because WoW continues to provide me with a fun environment to whop around in and the Game Masters have always been really amusing folk, where personal interaction was concerned.
Aside from that, yes, we do have to purchase the new expansions, but, that's run of the mill for any MMORPG. I don't believe we'll be seeing another expansion any time soon. Deathwing is probably not going to be the final encounter, considering all of his jabbering concerning his 'masters' and the reveal on a new Old God, N'Zoth.
I'm rather surprised that Activision is making an attempt to speak for Blizzard. Activision knows exactly how to make money from their audience and, no doubt, respects that quality in others. Blizzard is not something any wise businessman would want to touch.
Call mister Kotick what you will(He's in dire need of a PR) man, but a fool, he is not.
They want to release titles more frequently, like Valve wanted to release the hl games more frequently with the episodic approach? I don't think that's going to work and honestly, I don't want it to work because the quality might suffer but if they manage to keep the same quality and release the games faster then I'm fine with it.
A true sequel to WoW would be considered proven. Just a thought. 
They desperately need to update that dinosaur.
