New Blizzard IP Announcement?

[WhiteEagle888]

Activision Blizzard Investor Call
The latest earnings call had a few interesting points!

• Blizzard had the biggest quarterly online player community in its history with a record 46 million MAUs, up 38% year-over-year. MAUs have doubled since early 2015.
• Blizzard had all-time record DAUs
• The Overwatch community continued to grow more than a year after launch, setting another all-time MAUB record with the release of two seasonal events in the quarter
• Hearthstone MAUs grew year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter to an all-time record, driven by its expansion, Journey to Un'Goro
• World of Warcraft time spent grew year over year, and Legion continues to outperform the prior expansion.
• Blizzard plans to release another large content drop this quarter, with more details at Gamescom.
• There are multiple dedicated incubation teams working on new games, experiences, or IPs being lead by some of the most experienced game designers at Blizzard. The company is thinking about different platforms, especially mobile.

A Diablo or Starcraft MMO? OR Will this be a new IP altogether?

We're very, VERY likely not seeing another MMO. Why would Blizzard EVER want to go into competition with themselves?

[Lochton]

As I can see on your list, I have a more feeling of their Destiny 2 license.

[Teri]

Blizzard should invest into a 4X game imo.

Even cooler if they base it off warcraft lore

You will find out when the rest of us do. Keep in mind, with the amount of games they have, it can easily be something for any of the current games, like 7.3. It is considered "large content" because it is a major patch.

Project Titan was meant to be a competitor for World of Warcraft.

[Xtrm]

They're probably claiming Destiny 2 since they're using their launcher for the PC version.

[Zhira]

Couldn't a "large content drop" just refer to WoW patch 7.3?

[Daedius]

Probably the next expansion announcement... since Legion will be concluding soon after Argus.

That's exactly what it is. It says "release" this quarter not "announce".

[Lochton]

Still a minimum of 7 months of Legion to go.

Well, this quarter is soon over, so could be 7.3, as people have a theory that 7.3.5 is after BlizzCon but before christmas.

[Chemii]

The bullet point is part of the Warcraft bullet before it.

I think you confuse "release" with "announce".

Project Titan was meant to be a competitor for World of Warcraft.

And it was scrapped. They say it's because it wasn't fun, but being in competition with themselves probably didn't help either

[Inukashi]

Didn't they just hire like 20 developers and game designers with MMO experience for their Diablo Section? Was on their website for a long time and now all announcements got removed. Also they hired some mobile developers. I HOPE the new diablo isn't a mobile game or some shit like this.

Starcraft Ghost reworked into a new game.

[Xjev]

That looks like an expansion announcement. Content usually refers to patches/expansions rather than new game let alone a new IP

[glowpipe]

Its diablo. All doubts gone now.

Oh right.
