A Blizzard a gazdasági válság ellenére is gőzerővel dolgozik játékain. Ezt mi sem bizonyítja jobban, hogy egy az eddig be nem jelentett MMO-n kívül egy újabb projektbe fogtak. A játékról eddig csak annyit sikerült kideríteni, hogy a WoW grafikai motorját fogja használni és nem használ SDL-t, egységes grafika, video és hangkezelő alkalmazást. Arról, hogy a Blizzard nyitott az új dolgok felé, még Paul Sims niylatkozott 2008-ban.

Paul Sams: What I will say, though, is that the idea of a new franchise is very intriguing to employees of the company. Are we ever going to release a new one? I would absolutely say we will at some point. I just don’t know when that day will be quite yet.
