WorldofWar.net has the scoop that a Blizzard representative confirmed the new MMO is based on a new IP, and the lore and art will be developed from scratch.
The past years, Blizzard has based their games on the three major game franchises: StarCraft, Diablo and WarCraft.
Blizzard may have accidentally revealed the release date for Wrath of the Lich King Classic with an edit to the expansion's product page.
The random dungeon finder existed in the original Wrath of the Lich King. It needs to exist in Classic Wrath as well.
BLG writes: "To celebrate the announcement of Dragonflight, the latest World of Warcraft expansion, we decided to rewatch all the game’s cinematics and rank them from worst to best. Including the latest one, of course. In fact, we purposely waited until the new expansion got announced before putting together this list because we wanted to see how the Dragonflight trailer stacked up against all the other WoW cinematics. Spoiler alert: it’s not amazing, but it's not the worst one either."
It's quite exciting anticipating what new world they could be thinking up.
I wonder what genre this new MMO is based on. Sci-fi? Fantasy? a nod to Champions Online / City of Heroes? Can't wait to find out.
Blizzard worked on Superman Returns years ago.
they like to try something new every 8 or 10 years? ;)p
past discussions of this title, most people have thought an FPS was likely. simply because we know lots of blizz guys are fans of shooters, and blizzard hasn't made one, other than the aborted/FAIL that was SC Ghost.
I hope it'll be a fantasy MMO but with better, more serious art direction
Either that or some kind of strategy Civilisation-like MMO
