Blizzard's future games...

[AcidicSyn]

outside of the now popular remasters i don't see them doing much. many of the old guard i guess you can call them have peaked and don't really have much to offer now.
it's time for new studios to show what they can do.

If they told whoever did D2R or the Starcraft remaster to create a WC1 and WC2 remaster I would certainly /cheer

they cant keep on living off remasters forever, the real question is whats their next pc game after ow2 and d4

[Lochton]

From another thread it may be that they received a bigger profit margin from the dubious quality of the prior 3 expansions when added with the layoffs they had.

Dubious quality? Legion is in the top three for many fans.

I gave my two cents on what I'd like to see as far as the future goes earlier.

So this time I felt like commenting about remasters.

What I'd truly see is, back on the path for WoW, or slowly phase WoW into the background, make room for a Diablo MMORPG (With the same theme and design as the most recent games have had), or a StarCraft Shooter/RPG as they tried to plan for once before.

Of course, would love to see new things but that demands something up their sleeves.

diablo mmo i dont see happening

but a starcraft destiny like game would be nice and since bungie is gone, would make sense since they seem to be on the starcraft fps path

They were on the path that created a lot of hype with StarCraft:Ghost but then it was scrapped.

And the idea of a Diablo MMORPG would be if WoW were to step down from its podium.

i think diablo and wow, evne tho they are different themewise, i think they are still close to eacother. theyre better off doing a starcraft mmo, which by the way was extremely close to happening, but they settled for overwatch. Mcree is from the starcraft mmo for example originally (also metzen art)

so if there is an mmo. I think it would be starcraft, or the crossoworlds idea they had, or even overwatch eventually

I doubt we will see a new MMO out of them. ActiVision leaderships seems to cheap for that type of project.

I think their RTS era is over at least for the forseeable future. Or at least until someone else's innovates the genre and they can try to copy them.

I am sure we will see them dabble in their existing IPs. Maybe a StarCraft FPS or a WarCraft singleplayer. Regardless, they won't be releasing surefire bangers like they did in their golden days.

Now that Blizzard grabbed Vicarious Visions into their fold is there any word on what they will do next? They seem to know their shit when it comes to remasters/remakes.

yea mmos are unlikely, and evne if they did it, i dont feel it will be any good

but i wana see a starcraft fps, maybe revivve the starcraft battlefield type game they cancelled, u could be zerg in that game imagine

Pretty sure there was no confirmed designation for Project: Titan.

As for Diablo, it isn't that close to WoW, a completely different grasp on world-building, themes, and design. It would still be low-tech, though. Then again, high-tech MMORPGs have.. well.. died. Not sure I recall any MMORPG that lasted long. Destiny was meant to be but didn't achieve, and well, we all recall what happened to Wildstar, and EvE does not really have an MMORPG feel to it like what we're used to.

VV seems to be glorious are remastering, so, I think Activision-Blizzard is going to put them on the back shelf to milk some nostalgia.

[Baine]

I won't probably care about Blizzard Games. What they do is not my kind of game. WoW is an anomaly in my games library. I play almost solely building/sandbox/simulation/sports (both actual playing and managing teams). I don't mind RPGS when they are in open world but I can't stand min maxing gear/talents etc anymore.

what do u mean no confirmed designaton? all i know is, once titan (which was an mmo) was cancelled, they toyed around with a starcraft mmo idea, a crossworlds mmo idea, and then eventually overwatch, which has like parts of titan

Would really like to know what tom chilton is working on.

Project: Titan was only confirmed to be an MMO with an offering of classes, among them, the Tracer concept was meant to be a class but got turned into Tracer as Project: Titan was scrapped and repurposed for sections of Overwatch's build-up. We know of few things that hailed from there but not the setting of the world except for it being meant to be interacted with (See Hanzo, Genji, and Widowmaker).

There were rumors of Project: Titan being a Starcraft MMO, as well as rumors of it not being, but a Starcraft MMO being on the table with Project: Titan being worked on by another team. In the end, Project: Titan was never structured enough to have a designation assigned, it was limited assets (I believe Illios was meant to be in the project according to a BlizzCon stage talk), class ideas, and a few identities.

Good question, he assigned/or was assigned to a different project of Blizzard's in 2016. He is apparently not connected to any of the currently known teams (WoW, WoW:Classic, Hearthstone, StarCraft, Diablo, Warcraft, Heroes of the Storm, Overwatch, Overwatch 2, or the remastering team).

4 years will be one hell of a mobile game lol

[dope_danny]

I have no confidence in modern Blizzard to release something that isn't either a soulless rmt whale factory farm or a bug ridden, broken mess. All the talent left and they are such a shit tier western dev i don't think even EA or Ubisoft put out worse games nowadays and thats saying something.

No king rules forever and all that and honestly? i think that last game they really tried on was Heart of the Swarm like what? eight years go?

[Lochton]

According to job listings, they have 2 unannounced game sections hiring. One for mobile and another for a AAA game with immersive world building.
