'World of Warcraft' Sequel in the Works?
Blizzard fans must be feeling spoiled right now. The blaze set by Blizzard's Diablo 3 announcement is still guttering, but it seems that vice president Rob Pardo couldn't resist kicking the Internet rumor mill into high gear one more time by confirming yet another unannounced project. Get ready to spend some more of that hard-earned gold, World of WarCraft fans, because this one is another MMO.
In an interview with German site OnlineWelten during the Blizzard Worldwide Invitational, Pardo discussed Blizzard's continued success as a developer as well as the measured steps it has taken toward building its development teams. When he was asked about a recent job posting on Blizzard's site for a next generation MMO, Pardo smiled and said, "Yes, there is one more unknown project still in development."
Sadly, there weren't any further details beyond that, and Pardo also reminded the interviewers of Blizzard's well-known penchant for only releasing games that are finished, a policy that doesn't look to be changing anytime soon.
