Interesting factoids on WoW, and then some…

In a recent article on Wandering Goblin (WG), they discussed 25 things that you didn’t know about WoW. It was a pretty good read, but I felt that some of the points they raised may seem like old news to some readers. That said, they did bring up a few interesting facts that World of Warcraft fans or Blizzard junkies might be interested in.

First up, we have the president of Blizzard Mike Morhaime announcing Starcraft II and a new WoW expansion in the World Wide Invitational in Korea. Why is this groundbreaking? Well, it may have been a slip-up since there has been no official announcement regarding the expansion for WoW. Why the secrecy if they announced it? Well, the guys at WG talked it over with a Blizzard rep and got quite a few details on it.

They clarified that it’s not a secret; Blizzard just didn’t announce it officially. The expansion is in the works, and we can expect it to have a shorter development time than the two years it took for Burning Crusade to come out.

Another thing that gamers would probably want to know is the fact that Blizzard is focusing on the PC right now and the near future. Morhaime gave word that developing console games was not in the company’s immediate plans.

While the they have the almighty trinity of IPs (Warcraft, Starcraft, Diablo), they are also looking into new ones at the moment. The problem that Blizzard is currently facing is their current ability to work on a limited number of projects at a time. While I’d like to think is that this is because they want to stick with their high standards, feel free to make your own conclusions.

It looks like Blizzard is still going strong and their plans for the future are pretty solid. If you’d like to read more about this, feel free to click on our read link. Be sure to keep checking back here for more news and information.
