Blizzard Hard at Work!

It seems that the good folks at Blizzard can't be put off from working by the fusion with Activision. Indeed, not only are they working on a Russian-language WoW to enter that booming new market, they're also producing a new add-on to "our" WoW, called "Wrath of the Lich King" (read Rook's preview here).

Yet the biggest news from Blizzard was recently announced on their official forum when fans had gotten nosy about some new jobs openings at Blizzard. It seems as if Blizzard is working on "an unannounced Next-Gen MMO. And that doesn't mean it's an expansion to WoW either". In my opinion, that's tantamount to a a sequel (or rather, follow-up) to one the most popular and greatest MMORPGs ever (and best cash-cows to boot). So what will we get?

Obviously, a WoW2 would sell like ice cream on a hot day, but I'm inclined to think Blizzard will go further. Much further. In fact, I wouldn't at all be surprised about "World of Diablo" or "World of Starcraft". Both Starcraft and Diablo are immensely popular video game worlds, just like WoW sprouted from the venerable Warcraft. It wouldn't be all that far-fetched. These are just speculations however, Blizzard has yet to release hard facts, but rest assured we'll tell you when they do.
