Blizzard Lead Producer Moves To New MMO

IncGamers has learned that Jeffrey Kaplan, World of Warcraft (WoW) lead producer, has confirmed that he is moving to Blizzard's upcoming, untitled MMO.

Leaving the daily grind to the ever capable Tom Chilton and J. Allen Brack, Kaplan still intends to have some involvement with the game.

"I still plan to be very involved with the future course of World of Warcraft," and goes on to say that WoW "is still my favourite game."

In closing, Kaplan again thanks the team and the audience that made WoW a success, expressing his desire to make Blizzards new MMO just as successful.

"If anything, [the success of WoW] fuels the challenge of making our next MMO even better."

This little snippet of information may mean that the new Blizzard MMO is closer to completion than we think, and we're sure we'll hear an announcement from Blizzard soon, possibly at its anticipated gaming conventions BlizzCon or Worldwide Invitational.
