Talking to Gamasutra, Frank Pearce, founding member and senior vice president of product development for Blizzard revealed that the company has a third team hard at work on a new title, separate from World of Warcraft and StarCraft II.
When pressed for details regarding the new project, Pearce was cagey. "Team 3 is working on something really awesome. I can't give you any hints, but it's totally awesome."
VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "While not carrying the same heft it enjoyed long ago, last year was one of the adventure genre's most commercially-successful years in this century. A Telltale-esque adventure eclipsing 3 million sales in three months would be the talk of the town were it not for another adventure game hurdling over 10 million sales in two. Though not all finalists reached those heights, each did share a greater amount of spotlight compared to similar titles within their respective sub-genres.
Past any sales thresholds and popularity contests, 2025 also deserves credit for its creativity; the last time our entire shortlist consisted exclusively of new IPs was for Best Adventure Game of 2020. An impressive year for the genre, with even greater potential ahead."
Bandai Namco announced today that its popular flight simulator-lite Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown has passed another sales milestone.
In One Man’s Trash, the junkyard isn’t just a heap of discarded relics; it’s a labyrinth of lost dreams, hidden treasures, and satirical secrets waiting to be unearthed. Armed with a souped-up vacuum cleaner, players plunge into a pit of chaos where every discarded console, cursed cartridge, and relic of pop culture tells a story. This isn’t just about digging; it’s about obsession, fortune, and the absurd pursuit of a hard drive worth millions. Step inside the pit and discover whether fortune truly lies in the refuse.
Wow, not much for information but I'm always supportive for something "...totally awesome..." as Pearce has stated.
Must be a slow news day if Gamasutra put this up. This is Lasersharks material.
"Something really awesome"?
It's a Blizzard game, I have no doubt it will be a fantastic game.
I can't wait too see what kind of new IP is could be. They have sci-fi, and two fantasy games. Two RTS, one RPG, one failed shooter and one MMO, a new game genre would be cool.
If it comes from Blizzard, I'll buy it.
it will be Diablo 3 they already said they didn't want to start a new IP
Please be D3. Please.
