Blizzard Entertainment updates Employment Opportunities section of its website to include mention of a "top secret MMO". Seconds later the Blizzard fansites went into speculation overdrive about what the project could be.
The experts over at BlizzPlanet reckon we could be looking at a few things:
"A Starcraft MMO after Starcraft II? Look at World of Warcraft MMO ... it was launched a year after Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos (RTS).
"We might be facing the return of Starcraft: Ghost as a Next-Gen MMO -- Rob Pardo revealed on August 2007 to Gamasutra and GameDaily that Blizzard planned to return to Starcraft: Ghost.
"A Diablo MMO isn't too far-fetched unleashing an all-out Heaven vs. Hell war where you must choose sides."
A new IP altogether? They won't make WOW-tastic amounts of money. Or will they? Feel free to speculate away in theForums.
Blizzard's 2024 stats expose your 480 million deaths, 1.7 trillion murdered demons, 8.34 billion hours played, and how allergic Americans are to the metric system
WoW veteran says the MMO's devs had to make "ten times the amount of quests" as originally planned to sate playtesters, and now the game has 38,000 of them
