Frank Pearce Confirms Blizzard’s Next-Gen MMO Codenamed Titan

[Kaiser]

Looks like that leaked Blizzard schedule was infact legit.




During an interview with Frank Pearce, Destructoid managed to squeeze out a highly sought answer. Frank Pearce confirmed the Next-Gen MMO currently developed by Blizzard Entertainment is codenamed “Titan”.

The Executive Vice President of Product Development and Cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment admits, now that the cat’s out of the bag, they want the best developers out there to know about this upcoming Next-Gen MMO and to apply for a job with Blizzard.

The media is not supposed to know anything about “Titan”. It’s our next-gen MMO, and we’ve only started talking about it in a limited fashion because we wanted to leverage the fact that we’re working on something like that for the purpose of recruiting, getting some of the best talent in the industry on that project.” — said Frank Pearce.

Not directly related to Starcraft so I'll move this to off-topic.

Well, on one hand I'm glad at least part of the leaked schedule is legit. I for still attach the "subject to change" notation.

On the other hand, I'm not an MMO type, at least so far as MMOrpg would be concerned. Still, if it is, as the schedule implies, totally new Blizz IP, it's worth watching.

@Sandwich: Not entirely SC related no, but one could argue given the new legitimacy of the leajed schedule through this, that the schedule notes on SC progress are at least in the expected order, if not in final timeframe.

Edit: I wrote "Woo-hoo first post!", but Sandwich narrowly beat me.

Meh, we knew Diablo would have at least two expansion packs long before this leak. And it does indeed seem more like a leak right now.

Don't take the codename Titan as anything other than a codename. StarCraft II was codnamed Medusa I believe and Diablo III was codenamed Hydra. Could have been the other way around though.
