Our friends over at
href="http://www.gamespot.com" target="_blank">Gamespot
have reported on some info that has come out of the Deutsche Bank
Securities Technology Conference in San Francisco. Activision Blizzard
CEO Bobby Kotick announced that the next MMOG would have "a little more
broad appeal".
Here is a quote from the href="http://www.gamespot.com/news/6226767.html" target="_blank">article:
When asked about the efforts behind the new Battle.net online gaming
service, Kotick listed Blizzard's upcoming slate. "What we've announced
at Blizzard is that we have Starcraft [II] coming, Diablo has been in
production…and a new, unannounced MMO that has a little more
broad
appeal," said the executive.
Kotick's talk of a more accessible MMORPG ads a bit more detail to the
still very sketchy picture of Blizzard's mystery-shrouded project.
Before officially acknowledging it was in development in 2007, Blizzard
said that any new massively multiplayer game it may would not be a
World of Warcraft clone. This February, now-ex-World of Warcraft game
director Jeff Kaplan began working full-time on the unnamed title,
which will be a brand-new property.
