Blizzard: New MMO In Development

In a recent interview with wired.com Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime hinted to a new MMO in development. No, it’s not another WoW, rather “It’s gonna be different”. He says:

We’re not trying to replace World of Warcraft with this new MMO. We’re trying to create a different massively multiplayer experience, and hopefully World of Warcraft will still be going strong when that one is released.
