>hiring a bunch of people to make new games
>snatched up creative director of Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077
What is Blizzard going to announce in 2020? What IP could realistically be reshapen into a product with more mass appeal, as RTS is dead and Diablo can't really compete with POE and Blizzard doesn't really want that audience.
Diablo Souls? Starcraft third person cinematic shooter? Warcraft anything?
Overwatch card game.
Warcraft 4 (rts)
WoW 2
or maybe a single player game in the wow universe
Judging on those hires some singleplayer open world trash
>WoW 2
nah nigga stop being retarded
>creative director of Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077
I thought it was the writer.
Wait a minute the withcer 3 creative director moved to CP 2077 and the CD of CP left for blizzard i dont see anyone else leaving for blizzard
Can we stop this meme where we pretend "Blizzard" is a meaningful creative entity that exists anymore?
They're just like Bioware, a name used by a big company to scam people into buying stuff through a false association to older titles.
It doesn't mean that it's impossible for them to make good games, but the glory days of Blizzard are nearly 2 decades past, the people who worked on those games are gone almost to the man, trying to connect the Blizzard of today to those accomplishments is just blatant dishonesty.
>creative director of Cyberpunk 2077
I guess he really does love California
Whats retarded about it? After bfa we get one expansion then the game goes F2P mode with classic acting as the first progression server and in a year or so wow 2. I don't think wow 2 will happen but if it does thats probably how it will go down
SUN >:(((
>there will be another WoW expansion after all the shit that has gone down now with Blunder for Azeroth
I can already see all those shill threads on how great stuff is supposedly gonna be...ugh.
>WHERE WERE YOU WHEN CYBERPUNK SAVED THE WOW?
Project Titan restarted.
you're actually an idiot
ActiBlizzard laid off a bunch of useless positions, and are hiring developers to make new games.
He was one of three creative directors on Witcher 3, and was the writer and CD of 2077
Nothing.
They're restructuring, and sniping talent purely so their competition doesn't have it.
They don't want to compete with Activision, so no BR or tacticool arcade bro shooter.
RTS is dead, even if WC3R sells.
MOBA is dead, at least for Blizzard.
D3 is dead/undead, but they might still try to sell D4 if they think they can hype it up.
Most likely they'll try making a phone MMORPG ultimate timewaster, or just copy existing popular phone games with a Blizzard twitch.
Trust me my dad works at Nintendo.
again how? or are you just acting like a nigger cuz you can?
casualized Souls clone would still sell a lot
same thing with Overwatch: BR edition
not even proper BR, just some looting / rng casino shit where you fight AI
>What is Blizzard going to announce in 2020?
Nothing worth giving a fuck about. You can quote me on that. - JT "Quoteman" Piccolo
Blizzard have any BR thing in the works or papa Acti keeping that to himself
Diablo for Mobiles
Ow For Mobiles
SC for Mobiles
HearthStore for Mobiles
You can say the same about this place
A souls clone sounds cool, or at least it would have pre-D3.
If Blizz works on any big titles for PC i imagine they'll be working on Activision titles instead of their own.
The only thing i expect from them that i might actually want is a good phone timewaster MMORPG. I have no idea what would make it good though.
>You're actually an idiot
No argument, just name calling. Definitely a being a nigger.
I mean, you could.
But I've been here since 2007 and I'm just gonna pretend nothing has changed.
Please, this place is the one point of structure in my awful life.
MTG killed all online card game competition for once.
Heroes lost steam several times because they didn't fix tech issues in a timely matter, released overwatch heroes that broke the game in both gameplay concepts and overtuning, and no convient way to get all hero access. Not mention later paywalling the better waifu skins.
SC2 was the first example of blizzard new jew policies including neutered custom content and trying to super jewels the Koreans.
D3 was a travesty in more ways than one.
Least we have mobile games.
>overwatch is on mobile
>btw everyones gender fluid now
>diablo mobile
>starcraft mobile
>hots for mobile
>WoW battle royal for mobile
>hearthstone for nokia
>lost vikings on mobile
>tfw no phone
Used to be a huge Diablofag but I cannot imagine Diablo 4 will ever see the light of day. After the disappointment of D3 and the slap in the face of Immortal, imagine how good of a game they'd have to put together to get people excited again. And I think they've pretty much proven that they feel that a decent video game without recurring costs to the player is no longer viable.
>Hearthstone
Not doing as strongly but definitely most popular online card game by miles out there
>Heroes
I will concede this one probably lost them big money
>SC2
Still going very strong after many years. The esports scene is big and they barely put any money into the game at all while generating microtransaction money
>D3
Losing to PoE but it will most likely change as Diablo 4 comes out
>Overwatch
Esport streams getting 100k+ viewers regularly. They barely put any resources into this game either.
It's pretty obvious they will be starting to make a lot of games soon. They are restructuring hard and barely putting any labour into current games. They had a record year. Nothing shows them slowing down except perhaps this year since they have nothing releasing except Classic (which might take off like OSRS, who knows). Many doomsayers will be left disappointed as Blizzard stays the king of the video game market.
They can snatch up whoever they want. No amount of talent will fix their incompetence and mismanagement.
>tfw SC mobile is just protoss matches with 4 buttons
thx diablo for taking the bullet, otherwise they would have totally done it by now
Based.
I doubt Blizzard is allowed to compete with Call of Duty.
Fuck that loser
Blizzard currently has a game for the following genres:
>MMO
>arena shooter
>RTS
>MOBA (for now)
What are some common multiplayer genres that they don't have?
>battle royale
>fighting
>racing
Seems like we're going to get a battle royale game, Blizzard Smash Bros., and Diablo Kart.
That's how I feel about RTS and MMOS. How does it feel to be such a cool edgy contrarian?
You're an idiot for thinking WoW will go F2P or that Classic will be a progression server. WoW will never go F2P until it's 100k subs.
Why wouldn't there be? There was an expansion after the total failures of Cata & WoD
>Classic will be a progression
What else would they possibly do with it after everyones been maxed out for months on end? They will either reset the server or open up the next expansion on it
>b-b-bb--but my nost
ok cool but that was a private server not an actual company
>WoW will never go F2P until it's 100k subs
Others have gone f2p with more plus its already been proven to generate more proft and they gotta fund these new games somehow
Activision already has Crash Bandicoot racing, Spyro, and cowadooty+BR.
Blizzard will focus on mobile and other boring shit.
Next Blizzcon will be a massacre, mobileshit and expansions/rehashes. And by then Overwatch will probably even more dead, along with their other franchises. Classic will carry that con just like the last.
>What is Blizzard going to announce in 2020?
The Burning Crusade progression for the classic realms in winter 2021.
Nothing.
Considering Blizzard is creatively bankrupt I'm not expecting much from them other than Diablo 4 and some more remasters of their old ass games.
>wanting a new blizzard rts after the abomination that was sc2
well, i hope you're looking for pain you wc3 player, because it's coming
He is right stop being stupid. WoW is making a tons of money with little investment thanks to a drug addict fanbase of trash people in their 30's.
There is no way they plan on changing the formula right now.
the question was what is blizzard going to do not what i want
