Blizzard Working On Something Else "Really Awesome"
Yesterday the guys over at Gamasutra had a chance to chat with Blizzard Entertainment high-muckity-muck Frank Pearce (senior vice president of product development). What started out as a pretty humdrum conversation about figures and numbers revealed an intriguing little tidbit though:
The comment came amid discussion of the company's current workforce. "Our global headcount is 2,700," said Pearce, "And most of that is customer service for World of Warcraft! In terms of development staff it’s probably around 350. World of Warcraft is about 135 people, 40 for Starcraft II, 40 for team 3, our cinematics team is about 85 guys. Then there’s sound and Q/A and that sort of thing."When pressed for details regarding the new project, Pearce was cagey. "Team 3 is working on something really awesome. I can’t give you any hints, but it’s totally awesome."
Finally! GhostStarDiablo IV: The Lost Blackthorne. Oh, or maybe The Death and Return of Superman II. Here's hoping. (P.S. Yes, the Diablo 3 box is fake.)
