Blizzard confirms next-gen MMOG called Titan

Gimme a break! it will be released in 2013, that's too far away for this to be relevant

Oh boy, I know where I'll spend all the money I saved. Blizzard! :P

This is good news. Diabo 3 (Q4 2011). Yeah baby!!! As for "Titan", that's great, but I do not have the time anymore to play MMO. Maybe in another 4 yrs from now.

Maybe "a little more broad appeal " means a release on pc and console ?

@ JS0123456789 Name says diffrent... Titan doesnt have much with sci fic...

I'm guessing it's a sci-fi MMORPG.

Ok so since this is Blizzard, this game is going to be amazing. Everything Blizzard has ever done has been amazing, usually award-winning, I am confident that this game, whatever it is, is going to blow people's minds.

ok people, seriously... stop comparing this with WoW. sure, it's an mmo, but if its not one of WoW's competitors, that means its not an mmorpg (which WoW is). besides, it's Blizzard, and Blizzard makes good games =)

@stEElyDaN909 Actually a lot of it is still based off skill. obviously if someone has put a lot of time into earning their gear, they should deserve to win more often for that effort. But I see badly geared and even lower level players win over better geared players all the time.

Okay people... Here's what we know... It is a new property. Not Warcraft... Not Starcraft... Not Diablo... Not even Lost Vikings. It's new. That's already been said. We know that it is a Massively Multiplayer Online Game. But we don't know what genre of such it is. It does however stand to reason that it would not be an MMORPG if it won't compete with WoW. The game is tentatively named Titan. This may, or may not change. And finally, that Bobby Kotick believes the game will have, "a little more broad appeal". Well, what can be said about that? Obviously, that Bobby Kotick is an idiot, and doesn't know what he's talking about. In other words, his statement means absolutely nothing. I for one believe that Blizzard's smart enough not to listen to anything he has to say, and that Mr. Kotick just isn't smart enough to understand anything Blizzard has to say. I love Blizzard, but thus far, there's no reason to get excited... There's no reason to hate it either. We simply don't know anything about it, so how can you love or hate it? At the very least, I for one can't.

@Exorte .... oh I don't have any doubts that it may get delayed. I'm just stating, from what I see written here, that 2011 will be a better holiday than 2010. Personal opinion of course.

Look at me! I'm a high level WoW player! My clothes give me superpowers and the ability to pwn those with weaker clothes! Of all the problems with WoW's pvp, the gear imbalance is probably the worst. Those with better gear win much more often than not, and skill will take a back seat to stats any day of the week. I have a sneaking suspicion that this new "Titan" will be a pvp based hero type game based on skill, like DOTA and LOL, but at the same time drastically different. I could live with that.

I didn't join in on WoW because I felt it was too late, but I'll probably be on board from the start with this :)

Nothing from blizz is "next-gen" just give me diablo 3

so it will appeal to a different crowd than wow does? So people with lives?

Oh come on, not ANOTHER MMO!

saying "next-gen" is a little pushing it,but if its from Blizzard than i cant wait.

i'l be happy if it iwll be new fracnhise for blizzard and for all blizzard fans and not World of starcraft or world of diablo, something new that will rock and will be cool.

I think blizzard wants to create and MMO that is more skill based. Something that will take more than just gear to be good. This isnt about being more casual its about getting more gamers on board.. lets face it even though wow is huge.. there is a large majority that wont touch it because of the gameplay.. most gamers like action games of some sort.. not button spamming and using #'s to become more powerful.

WOW is pretty casual know to be any more casual the game would play for you.

The only way it won't compete with WoW is if it is a sequel to WoW, and even that is pushing it.

if it's only on pc then who cares

a next gen MMO from blizzard meaning it will be 5 years behind the current technology on release date.

@Exorte No, they said it would have "a little more broad appeal". That doesn't mean anything to me. It could mean it'll be a modern or sci-fi MMORPG, or it could mean that it's an MMOFPS. Who knows? While it's Blizzard developing it, I won't touch it. I'm not going to play another grindfest of an MMO.

Titan might be Blizzard looking to gain more of the casual players, like people who play games like Farmville and other casual friendly" just a few minutes a day"-games. After all, that's a huge market of customers that are very unlikely to play games that require more then a few minutes of attention. And it's - more importantly - an untapped market for Blizzard so far. That's, at least, my guess right now.

oh good! Yet another reason for millions to hold onto virginity and make their co-workers nervous for being anti-social.

What do you think about this.... It would be good or not if "Titan" is an MMO from Diablo's world? For me it would be interesting but...also afraid that they screw up that magnificent game... I don't know... what do you think?

@xXFr34k_0uTXx Remember their planned release date for Starcraft 2? 2009. and it was released in 2010/7/28. I guessing 2012 Q1 since this is a pretty old leak.

@airshocker They said it is going to appeal to a different crowd than WoW. That should means it doesn't play anything like WoW.

hmmm sounds good

Could not really care, but there is one singularly important bit of information, Diablo 3 maybe coming out q4 2011. Well looks like ill just go and get a second pair of underwear.

Hope its some sort of cyberpunk mmo like shadowrun that would be so awesome

Eh, not really looking forward to this. I don't enjoy Blizzard MMOs, I haven't since Burning Crusade. No evidence to show that it'll be ANY different from the well-rewarded design they used for WoW.

@T-Sub96 I actually have a sneaking suspicion it will come to consoles considering that alot of the market share is there as well.

@xXFr34k_0uTXx That it is.

Diablo 3 (Q4 2011) ... it's already a better Christmas season than 2010.

"Titan as at the very least a working title for the studio's much-speculated upon new massively multiplayer online role-playing game" - gamespot This is wrong. It is only comfirm the project is a MMO, not MMORPG.

@bojan_sokol "will be an all-new property" - right off this page meaning no Starcraft or Warcraft or Diablo.

Warcraft 4, please.

great I guess

i think they just won't to make some extra money from this game

Titan codename for World of Starcraft?

I know I'll get thumbed down for this, but I hope titan comes to consoles.

I hope Diablo 3 comes out next year.

Diablo 3!!!!!!

Go Blizzard, will keep an eager eye on Titan. But Diablo 3 is going to be sweet!

Diablo 3!!

They confirmed the new IP MMO a long time ago, multiple times since first doing so, Titan is the code name just as Hydra was for Diablo 3.

Sweet :)

Why don't they do something like what Mm did with Littlebigplanet 2. Create another game inside of the Warcraft universe. Allowing you to use your character from WoW?
