OMFG Blizzard confirms it’s cooking up a new MMO
Run for your lives! Blizzard has confirmed that it is working on a new massively multiplayer online game not connected to the World of Warcraft universe, according to a post on the official WoW message boards earlier this month. Reported today by Wired’s Game|Life blog, the assurance is music to the ears of MMO junkies jonesing for a new drug from the online gaming world’s biggest brand.
C’mon…say it with me: Diablo 3. Diablo 3…..
In response to questions on the WoW boards about a recent job posting, Blizzard community rep Drysc confirmed that the company “an unannounced next-gen MMO.” Anticipating the inevitable turn the thread would take, Drysc adds, “and that doesn’t mean it’s an expansion for World of Warcraft either.”
In January, IGN reported that Blizzard (now part of the recently-formed Activision Blizzard) had plans for a new MMO and that it would not be based on WoW or anything too similar to the company’s past projects.
Fears that the company’s recent merger with Activision would lead to an endless churn of WoW clones would appear to be unfounded. A Blizzard rep was unavailable for immediate comment.
