Blizzard Will Definitely Work On A Console Game

The company behind the smash hit MMO, World of Warcraft, has said it will “definitely” work on a console game in the future.

Until now, Blizzard's three top franchises, Warcraft, Diablo and StarCraft, have all been PC-only. This latest admission by Blizzard has sparked off hopes that gamers will see sequels to these games on consoles, but it's probably the biggest hint yet that the unannounced game currently in development by Blizzard will be cross-platform.

Blizzard's J Allen Brack started the rumour mill going when he told Gamasutra about the company's stance on console gaming.

“I have two consoles at home. Sam has consoles. We're a culture of gamers. We will definitely work on a console game at some point. I have no doubt about that. It's just [a matter of] what game. What makes the most sense?”

Blizzard's unannounced game is known to be an MMO, and a new franchise. Perhaps it will be something that no one has managed yet, a decent console-based Sci-Fi MMO?
