Blizzard in Talks With Microsoft Over Next Xbox
Blizzard has been revealed to be in active talks with Microsoft regarding the successor to the Xbox 360 – this comes from company executive Rob Pardo.
Pardo said this during the Luminaries Lunch at the GDC. Other lunch attendees – Will Wright, Warren Spector and David Perry, all big names – said they were yet to be approached about the next-gen console.
This is interesting, because it should be noted that Blizzard hasn’t released a console game since 2000 and that its titles sell like hot cakes on PC. But with games like Diablo 3 and StarCraft 2, as well as an unannounced MMO, the company may be looking to bring in a wider audience.
Features Of The Next Gen
While we are just over half way through this current console generation, curiosity, rumors, and speculation on the next generation of consoles has been far from dormant. The Wii HD has all but been announced, the PlayStation 4 has been mentioned several times by various Sony employees, even if only speculatively, and the Xbox 720 is probably going to be announced the next year or two.
While these future consoles are still in development, there several features and functions that we should be able to expect from all of them.
