New Blizzard MMO Will Be The "Next Big Thing" After Diablo 3

Blizzard: The Forgotten Console History of the Developer of World of Warcraft, Diablo, and Starcraft


In a recent interview with Gamasutra, Blizzard's COO Paul Sams gave a very brief glimpse of what's to come in the company's top-secret massively multiplayer online role playing game, code named "Titan", and that they think it will be the company's next big release after Diablo 3. In the interview, Sams explains that Titan is the most ambitious thing that Blizzard has ever attempted, and that they don't want Titan to compete with World of Warcraft, but to eclipse it.
He goes on to mention that a lot of people on Titan's development team are actually the founding fathers of World of Warcraft, and that those people have no been working on the new project for a few years. Details revolving around Titan are slim to none, but Sams mentioned that, "We're very confident in [the] product. It's an awesome one. We're playing it already. It is a total ball to play. We think that the reach of that product is greater than anything that we've done before. We're very excited about that. I believe that it's the type of game that will have a very long life, much like World of Warcraft has."
If Blizzard is saying that Titan is going to have a worldwide impact, then I'm pretty excited. What about you?
