Secret Blizzard MMO Won't Be Revealed Until Far Flung Future



Blizzard is known to have a next-gen MMO in the works, but the developer doesn't plan to reveal it for a long while.

Blizzard has been planning its MMO follow-up to enormous investment [http://www.amazon.com/World-Warcraft-Pc/dp/B000067FDW]" won't be revealed until everybody reading this has experienced another birthday, or two.

The MMO is said to be BlizzCon 2010 [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/94360-Blizzards-New-MMOG-Will-Be-Significantly-Different-From-WoW] that it won't be officially announced until 2012 at the earliest.

Blizzard team members have been slowly making their way [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/89413-WoW-Lead-Designer-Moves-to-Blizzs-Other-MMO] over to the new game, but the team is reportedly still fairly small for what could likely be the next billion dollar MMO. The current production status of the mystery game is unknown.

Blizzard's secret MMO is no doubt one of the most anticipated games out of any in the entire industry, so Pardo's comment is quite disappointing. At the same time, it makes sense considering Blizzard still has StarCraft II [http://www.amazon.com/Diablo-III-Pc/dp/B00178630A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1287942558&sr=8-1] updates.

Can't you even give us just one early hint Blizzard? Will it be set in a sci-fi universe? Will there be space goblins? Is it going to be an MMOFPS real-time strategy RPG sandbox platformer with music mini-games? Anything?

That was so unfair. :(

It was actually kind of hilarious, though, sitting in the press section. When he started talking about the sneak peek at their new MMO, you could hear everyone freaking out and pulling out their phones, etc.

Will be nice to see them move onwards from their already established IPs. The last decade or so was nice, true...but sooner or later it pays to move the hell on already.

It's time for us to hit the 10man club. We gotta get past a Grenade before hitting the real loot.

Example Skill for the "Tank"

Flex Biceps:

Attract target creature towards you, generates a lot of girl-aggro. Does not work on fellow bros.

Hm, new content from Blizzard? I wonder where they'll go with this.

This is a nice development. Looks to be starting anew the cycle of "WHEN IS IT COMING OUT?!?!?!" that has been mostly empty since Starcraft II. Diablo III has been trying to fill it, but, a new MMO can't hurt.

World of Starcraft? Something Sci-Fi related I'm thinking, since they already have a hit game in a fantasy world.
