Blizzard confirms next-gen MMOG called Titan

Finally something new !! we got bored of WoW!!

Don't care, just give us Diablo 3 and the other 2 SC2s.

LOL they hope it will be a big hit? as opposed to which game developer?

I'll give it a bash as long as its not F2P, subscriptions all the way! :)

i just wan diablo 3....i dn care other :D

This game is a minimum 4 years out. By then WoW will have lower than half of it's current subscriber base. I know Cataclysm just came out but WoW's been on the market for 6 years now and has become stale. Regardless of what expansion pack you release the core of the game is the same. I predicted that Cataclysm would hit hard ... but subscriber numbers would drop off pretty quickly around 4-5 months after it's release. WoW is still the same game and I think the increase in dungeon difficulty will only turn more people away, which isn't a bad thing. Bottom line is by the time Titan comes out most people won't be playing WoW and will be looking for something new ... so by nature, Titan won't compete with WoW because WoW won't be what it is now.

There is mainstream, and there is different stuff, that become legend among its fans. Heh wish they would make something...legendary...considering the facts that were stated in previous posts so many times(that evety game blizz has released is special in its own way and blablabla...) But then again, they are part of activision now...so it will 'prolly be something mainstream with just a pice of ''legendary'' taste in it :D Anyway, cant wait to hear more news 'bout it :)

Titan...sounds like they hope it'll be a big hit. WoW is fantasy, so maybe Titan will be a sci-fi mmo.

hope its not going to be that cod MMO rumored, that would suck (i like cod but it wouldnt work as an MMO) lets just hope not. Or it could be a joint development with Blizzard and Bungie, im sure it was mentioned at some point that Bungie was interested in joining up with Activision because Activision could help them with online aspects of their next title (because of Blizzards experience in MMO's) But whatever they make i just hope its amazing.

I can't believe how dumb the general gaming public can be... I am only going to say this once so listen: Stop whining about monthly fees!!! Trust me... if blizz puts out an MMO without monthly fees you will instantly be victim to a buggy peice of crap that will be the exact same beta version for 5 years after release. The reason WoW has evolved with the technologies and is nothing short of a living/breathing creature is because of those 13 million memberships flooding their buget faster than they can carelessly spend it. So they spend it wisely instead, coming out with amazing updates and expansions so well that it's almost impossible to stop playing WoW forever. I know a lot of you will say "I stopped and will never play again" but I guarentee 90% of you will eventually go back.... we all do. ...And it's because of membership fees. So stop asking for things if you are one of these people complaining. You obviously can't handle the responsibility of giving healthy advice to game developers. If membership fees are a problem then you should be saying "Please lower membership fees to 10.00 with tax, or 5.00) or "I don't have a car to get to wallmart monthly, and I don't have a credit card so please get every convience store onboard with gametime" But I agree that the monthly fee is too high. It should be 5 dollars or even 10. - epi (sorry for the novel)

Even more mainstream than WoW? Isn't that supposed to be Farmville?

Titan sounds like a codename if you ask me.

Blizzard should remake The Lost Vikings.

why did you have to mention bobby kotick at the end of the article? what a bonerkill..

2013 heh i dont know if iwll play Games hat time :D

Given the population of people already playing WoW, how the heck is Titan going to have MORE broad appeal?

As long as it's free to play sure, even though blizard wont be making money with that, given the reputation from WoW it should get alot of players. Then they can add a payed memborship option, just like Runescape :P

Make no monthly fees and I'm in.

bring illidan or kaelthas back for god sake .

Stupid Kotick, I don't like him. Wish Blizzard would leave Activision.

@brianb0422 COD has quite the flock of sheep following it, willing to pay $60 a year to play the same game over and over, with a couple new maps/upgrades. It is good for one thing, mindless killing. Anyone who thinks they are a gamer because they play nothing but online multiplayer is just like the people who play facebook games and pop cap games; expect COD players think they are better then them because COD is so hardcore.

Bobby Kotick sure knows about "broad appeal". Look what he's done with CoD. New title every 6 months with a steady downgrade of quality but an increase in sales. He's a turd. Just seeing his name makes me want to punch a baby.

Well seeing as how Activision is part of it now, Titan being a shooter would not surprise me one bit.

Don't they know the world is ending in 2012? LOL (kidding...)

They should have focused on Warcraft 4 :(

This game is very interesting. It will probably change Blizzard forever, at least in my eyes. Think about it. On the one hand, Blizzard has done something that no other developer on the planet has ever done: For 15 years, every, single, game they've released has been an overwhelming critical and/or commercial success. That's right, they have not released 1 game (count 'em, ONE game) that has flopped in the last 15 years. Even if you consider their extremely lengthy development cycles, that's still quite a feat. On the other hand, Blizzard hasn't created a new IP in about 12 years. Every single game they've released has been based on the "Big 3" (Starcraft, Warcraft, and Diablo). I, for one, am infinitely curious to see if they can pull this off. Just as Warcraft II began a new era for Blizzard, Titan will create the next, for better or worse.

Oh SH!T!!!! Bobby Ko(d)ick + more broad appeal?! I mean, a more broad appeal than WoW!?! At 12 million+ subs!?!?! Please dear god please let Ko(d)icks only involvement be in that stupid statement and not a step further!!! Please...

THANKS GOD for a game announcement/confirmation where gamespot doesn't try to be cleaver by inserting random pun as title.

MMOG and broader appeal...I smell something to do with shooting. w/e All I need is Guild Wars 2, which is being made by the Real Blizzard team.

I'd like to see how Blizzard can make Titan a successful MMO without having it compete with WoW. Personally I've been all about The Old Republic since I quit WoW, but even that is almost half a year away, let alone 2013 for Titan.

Oh no, make Warcraft 4, Blizzard!

Hm, FPS MMO? Sounds like Fury to me. Cuz we all know how great that ended up! But well, if anyone can make that kinda game succeed it's Blizzard I guess. We'll just have to see, speculation is kinda trivial at this point. =/

I hope Titan is Starcraft online!!!

They are making too many games which is not good. I only care about Diablo 3

i love it..

Next gen of what? Next gen consoles? is this a hint at new consoles?

i only cared about that part to gho5ty come on already diablo 3 when will we see ye

I agree with shooters125 (3 posts below me). They are saying that it won't be a direct competitor to WoW because in my mind it could be something completely different... not an MMORPG, but some sort of an MMOG. Still, I have a sinking feeling that it will end up competing with WoW and will split up a fair portion of the Blizzard community, regardless of what Blizzard markets it as. Also, "broader appeal?" WoW's appeal is so broad at this point I can't imagine making a game with an appeal that is even MORE broad. Ah, the glory days of MMORPGs like EverQuest where only the hardcore made it to the top through gritty exploration, epic questing, and searching out for hidden temples and dungeons... not going from quest 1 to 2 to 3 to 4 then turning them all in from the mini-map like so many MMORPGs do today. Still, I play WoW with my friends and enjoy it for what it has to offer -- a beautiful MMORPG that appeals to many people. Keep going, Blizz. I have confidence that you will succeed. And my God, this has become a wall of text... my apologies.

They really shouldn't have used a wow screen for this article.

what the f*@k. GIVE US DIABLO 3!!!! ...not another damn cash cow mmo... greedy sods...

Please look at the fact that they are saying MMOG instead of MMORPG people. It could be anything from a shooter to a RTS (not saying it will be, it could still be an RPG for all we know). Thats probably the main reason why it won't be a competitor to WoW.

OMFG Q4 for diablo3 GTFO i know there will be bugs and what nots but god damn its not a mmo FFS

@fLaMbOaStiN I totally get what you're saying, but I think they meant they won't be limited to Warcraft lore. Not that they cared about warcraft lore when they made WoW anyways, lol.

That screenshot looks a lot like wow. And I knew Activision had something to do with the WoW portion of Blizzard!! Good luck with your own MMO failing against your own MMO, ATVI!!! I'll be on Guild wars 2, Star wars: the old republic, and maybe WoW if you guys don't destroy that any further.

yeah but there are many of them who like WOW but for me I like RPGs not MMO

uh, obviously another team is working on diablo. and if you notice it doesnt say RPG in there. so it could be anything. If it isn't a competitor to WoW, it most likey wont be an RPG.

@fLaMbOaStiN - Believe it or not, not everyone loves WoW. Perhaps Blizzard is trying to find a game that doesn't have as much of a stigma that WoW has to many people.

How do you get much more of a "broader appeal" then WOW?? Possibly a facebook MMOG? LOL.. Doubt it tho.

Dear Blizzard, Try not to overhype it.

I'm beginning to see that Blizzard and Activision make a great couple.
