Future plans

In fact, the executive revealed that the company is in great shape now as compared before and they are now cultivating new ingenuities. Furthermore, Morhaime said that there are now dedicated development teams led by veteran game designers tasked to handle these new initiatives.
While the latest news will excite fans of Blizzard’s titles, the executive emphasized that making new titles with Blizzard’s quality on a particular or any platform will consume time.
He added that even if they have made a game, but they feel that it does not live up to the quality of the company and expectations of the players, this will not be released to the public. Through the years, the company has a reputation to cancel or sever developments because it does not satisfy them. One example is the “Titan MMO.”
Clue about upcoming games
