Blizzard has confirmed that they will soon announce a new MMORPG as well as work for a World of Warcraft Movie.
Itzik Ben Bassat, VP of development at Blizzard Entertainment said, “When we announce our next MMORPG it’s not going to be another WoW – we’re not a company that tends to tread the same ground. It’ll be something innovative and new that really brings entertainment to another level.”
On the movie he commented, “We’ve been working on that movie for years! If people only knew how many years, we put in to closing this movie deal. We are very happy with our progress though, it was difficult for us as a company to find some we trusted to work with. With Legendary, well, they did Batman Returns and the new Superman so we knew that was a company we wanted to work with. Bringing Warcraft to the movies is the next step for us, we want to let people bring World of Warcraft into other aspects of their lives. After all, we are competing for people’s entertainment time, whether it’s listening to music watching TV or going to the cinema. Our goal is to provide the best entertainment out there.”
Some time ago, we had posted that Capcom too would make movies based on its video games. That’s quite nice, and as for the new innovative MMORPG, we will keep you updated. It would be great to see WoW on consoles though, especially on Nintendo Wii.
