Blizzards next MMO being rebooted, delayed until 2016?

VentureBeat reports that The team of 100 developers working on the MMO, codenamed “Titan,” has been reduced by 70 positions, and Blizzard is reassigning those people to other work. Meanwhile, the core of the team will start over on Titan. The title is now not expected to be published until 2016 at the earliest.

We know that the wildly popular and successful MMO, World Of Warcraft, is still generating a lot of money but is losing traction with 8 million subscribers, down from 12 million. Most companies would love those numbers.



Word of the unannounced MMO has been leaking out for a couple of years now, but Blizzard has never officially named the project — Titan was a leaked codename – nor set a release date for it. Many have been expecting the game to debut in early 2014 because of a leak of its early schedule. It’s not clear whether that schedule was accurate or not, but it led people to believe that the Titan would come either late this year or early 2014.

VentureBeat has asked Blizzard for an official comment on Titan’s status.
