What will be Blizzard’s big surprise reveal this year?
A new Warcraft could rock the convention.
Here’s why it’s time.
Also, as stated inthis recent Twitter update, Blizzard has started hiring en masse for a new project.
Now its time to dig into the details.
Of both of those options, the latter seems to make most sense.
The timing is perfect.
Thanks to the movie, gamers who arent MMORPG/classic RTS fans will likely become interested in theWarcraftuniverse.
What does all of this mean?
That Blizzard would be extremely smart to announce a game that isnt dated and isntWoWbut still focuses on theWarcraftuniverse.
This game could build up hype right alongside the movie.
The combination is perfect from a marketing standpoint.
Theres also the fact that the timing is excellent for an RTS revival.
Game genres tend to be cyclical when it comes to whats popular.
For a while, MMORPGs were the latest and greatest in PC gaming.
Then folks kind of moved on to shooters.
Its been a very long time since an RTS was popular.
The timing, again, just seems rightand it definitely matches Blizzards vision of striving for innovation.
So, considering all that, which game will we likely see an announcement about?
Are we looking atWarcraft IVor simply an HD remake ofWarcraft III?
Both would gain a whole lot of ecstatic fans instantly.
With Blizzards list of games becoming increasingly large, a remake simply makes the most sense.
Now, everything written above is obviously a huge bundle of speculation.
Just because the timing seems right for aWarcraft-inspired game announcement doesnt mean well see that reveal.
But hey, wheres the fun in that?
