Blizzard PAX East Announcement: “It’s Not Titan”

28 Comments

Rob Pardo, Chief Creative Officer at Blizzard Entertainment tweeted something interesting about an upcoming Blizzard PAX East Announcement.

PAX East next week and I’m still not ready with the announcement for our next game… work work work

It is well known that Blizzard is planning on going to PAX East next week, but the company has been hush-hush about the details. Pardo did give us one piece of info: It’s not Titan. We will have to wait a bit longer for that. Then, to tease us a bit more (and poke fun at a fan site), he invited us to make our own guesses.

and no it’s not Titan!!! other than that… feel free to guest like Blizzplanet lolblizzplanet.com/blog/comments/…

So BlizzPlanet thinks (thought?) the Blizzard PAX East announcement is going to be Blizzard All Stars. Not a bad guess, I think. We know the game is supposed to come out sometime soon(ish). Blizzard could probably use a MOBA-style game on its official roster… like now. We first heard about the game at Blizzcon 2010. If we are running on Blizz-time, announcing it three years later makes perfect sense.

Other Guesses?

Last month, Christ Metzen made the big announcement that Diablo 3 will be brought to Playstation 3 and 4. Some speculate that the Blizzard PAX East announcement will have something to do with that. Perhaps they will announce D3 coming to Xbox? Wow, that would be a let down. No, whatever it is they will talk about has nothing to do with D3 on consoles.

Let me go way, WAY out into left field and make my guess. OK, it’s more of a wish than a guess. I think the Blizzard PAX East announcement will have something to do with a mobile device game. As of now, Bliz has nothing in the way of mobile gaming available to its fans unless you count the WoW online auction house as a game. I’d love to see Pokewow brought to iOS.

What do you think the Blizzard PAX East announcement will be?

I think based on what I’ve experienced in HOTS campaign this has to be Blizzard All Stars. Kerrigan has a build exactly like WoW talent tree now, and her abilites feel very moba-esque.

  MikeB also mentioned one of the HoTS campaigns seemed like a preview of All Stars.

    I’m with you guys…No one releases anything SUPER exciting without countdown clocks and teaser trailers…

  See, I don’t believe it to be Blizzard All Stars – as Blizzard have said that it isn’t a game we already know about – Blizzard DOTA/All Stars was announced 2 years ago at Blizzcon.
  
  As for Kerrigan having a talent system – we kind of had that in Wings of Liberty just in a different form – Check the zerg and protoss upgrade paths in the Lab.

Based on the picture on BlizzPlanet, that looks very Diablo3-esque.

Diablo 3 expansion, maybe? Or they could talk for an hour on what Diablo 3 means to console gaming.

I could totally see that. Do I want to see that? Absolutely not, but it’ll probably happen.

I’m going with all stars. He says “work work work” which is a warcraft thing from peons or villagers, i forget which. And Dota is a warcraft 3 mod, and since we know they are working on a Moba, this would make sense

Warcraft 4 please!

Was there anything about it being independent from existing games? if not Mobile Pet Battles?

I thought I read somewhere they said its not based on a current IP they have.

personally blizz allstars as a annoucement would be dull cos its been on the cards for ages now. something completely new would be exciting
Tommy_NOR

D3 expansion or Blizz allstars but i hope its warcraft 4!!

  I am also hoping for warcraft4. I’ll even tAke it as an online only competetive game with no campaign just war3 with new engine and epic matches between grubby and moon again

  Project Blackstone is already out. Promotion page for HoTS.

Its something new he said it has nothing to do with a current game, and not titan. so its something new like Allstars or WC4

WoW: Vanilla Rebirth… shut up and let me dream

My guess is Blizzard DOTA. However, that mailer said “little something” so maybe something mobile?

Per Pax Website Event Details:

Blizzard Entertainment Presents

Blizzard has a little something new, and they’re bringing it to PAX
East! It’s different from their other games, so it’s not a sequel,
expansion, or that rumored next-gen MMO. Be among the first to see what
the legendary development studio has been working on in this
presentation.

Personally I’d want wow on ps4, or some dlc for diablo but no matter what they do it’s gona be good
