It would greatly surprise me if blizzard made anything that *wasn't* sci-fi or fantasy. I think I remember reading on the blizzard forums that it was going to be a new franchise. This was a blue post there. But nothing else was mentioned. I actually hope they stick with fantasy, that would be super win.
Well there is The Old Republic coming out relatively soon. I doubt I'll be playing it, but it shouldn't be bad at all. I'm always going to be a sucker for fantasy though.
Yeah, it will happen :) I'm also awating a new IP, but who knows... for a new mmorpg, i imagine something related to fantasy like all the other mmos, or if it's something futuristic, kind of RF Online.
I think its a starcraft mmo, makes sense I guess. Diablo mmo would be too similar to warcraft as both are medieval fantasy at heart and warcraft always had a larger scale storyline. Starcraft is thier only other really big ip that would get a large playing audience day 1 so therefore its a starcraft mmo.
