With Blizzard shelling two games out in the same year for the first time in the company's history, and with Diablo III probably coming out next year. What's next for Blizzard? We know that they'll work on the SCII HoS and LoV expansions, but what about the WoW team. Will they make another WoW, or will they go back and make a Warcraft 4? I mean I could really see them doing it. 
 
As I play the  starcraft II beta I realize how brilliant and talented Blizzard really is as a developer. They are masters at their craft. As most of you know, I am a huge SC fan, and highly anticipating SCII, but I was  never more engrossed or attached to any game (MW2 included), than I was to Warcraft III and Warcraft III TFT. Those were the times where I spent my early Middle School years on the Computer till 11 at night and I'd wake up at 6 in the morning to play it some more. Although now being a teenager I could never do that....I need my sleep. 
 
Warcraft 3 did everything right. It looked good, it ran well, it never had any problems, the balance of the 4 races was truly mind blowing, the voice acting was superb, the campaign was engrossing and compelling, the game-play flawless as it combined RTS and RPG elements, and it was years ahead of its time in terms of its multi-player. The matchmaking system that that game had back then rivals MW2's now, and SCII is even better than MW2's. I realize comparing Warcraft 3 to MW 2 is like comparing apples to oranges, but...they're both fruit. Warcraft 3 was my favorite game of all time, followed closely by Half Life 2 and Starcraft, and today I was urged to watch Greg Kasavin's Gamespot review on Warcraft 3 from like 8 years ago, and watching it really made me want a sequel...like really badly. I know that Blizzard's got three teams working hard, on WoW Catyclsim , SCII and Diablo III, but they'll have one team to work with and I hope to God they make a Warcraft 4....
 
So who thinks its possible?

So who thinks its possible?

They have said that they are working on another MMO, but i guess a Warcraft 4 is possible. It might be hard to tie a new Warcraft RTS into the Warcraft storyline with WoW currently running and moving the Warcraft story forward.

" @giyanks22:  I really wish they'd branch out and make new ips, but they seem pretty committed to their three universes. I'm sure that all three will receive proper sequels, such as Warcraft 4, for as long as Blizzard keeps developing. They're pretty reliable, it might just take them 10 years to develop it. "

They're working on a new MMO. They've also come out and said they're working on a new IP, which is safe to assume is the new MMO since they've confirmed it's not WoW 2.

Well they have had over 10 years now to make Starcraft 2 so you'd kinda expect them to be able to do it right.

whats next? milking...followed by milking...and more milking. 
 
 
they are incapable of making anything new. used to love em now i wont bother with their crap. screw SC2.

I guess their roadmap atm is:
 
2010: Sc2 Wings of Liberty / WoW: Cataclysm
2011: Sc2 Heart of the Swarm / Diablo 3
2012: Sc2 Legacy of the Void

It would probably be safe to bet there will be another WoW expansion in 2012, i think after diablo releases we'll probably start hearing more about whatever is unannounced.

after D3 they'll be all about their new super secret MMO

New Lost Vikings game. You heard it here first. 
 
Honestly? I expect a Diablo 3 expansion or two, and then they will probably get on to making Warcraft 4.

" @giyanks22:   i mean that is all they do.. zero new ips.  it takes em 10 years to make a game (rehash)  which is nonsense. then toss in some crappy battlenet micro transactions for extra flavor of bullshit. nah i'm done with em.  "

" @giyanks22:   u fail to see the point. i should have guessed as much  from a guy with a blizzard avatar that you might. i'll take leave and save my time.  "
