Blizzard's next major game announcement will likely be the reveal of its next MMO title. But the developer behind the biggest subscriber-based MMO game of all time, World of Warcraft, is still keeping details about the game close to the vest. However a new chat with Blizzard's COO Paul Sams at Gamasutra does give a couple of very general hints.

Sams admits that its next MMO game is " ... the most ambitious thing we've ever attempted." He added, "We're playing it already. It is a total ball to play. We think that the reach of that product is greater than anything that we've done before." However he also believes that World of Warcraft will still have a long life after the new MMO is released, saying, "I see World of Warcraft as having many more years in front of it."

The next MMO game from Blizzard Entertainment (which we know goes by the internal code name "Titan") is still a long ways off but during this week's DICE Summit the president of Blizzard Mike Morhaime gave some general hints about what the next MMO from the company behind World of Warcraft would be like.

According to Ars Technica, Morhaime repeated that the MMO won't be a World of Warcraft sequel but one that will take all of the lessons that Blizzard has learned from developing its first MMO title. He stated, "So we're kind of taking a step back with all that knowledge to make something that's completely new and fresh." He added, "To break the mold, sometimes you have to start over." Morhaime hints that the new MMO would have more of a social-friends aspect to it but then added, "That's probably all I can say."
