At the Blizzard Worldwide Invitational, vice president of Blizzard Rob Pardo confirmed that Blizzard is working on an unannounced title. The confirmation came from a video interview with OnlineWelten, in which Pardo fields multiple follow-up questions regarding the “unannounced MMO” job listing. When specifically asked if the job listing was for Diablo III, Pardo answered quite assertively.
No, [Diablo 3] is obviously not, since Diablo is not an MMO. We have another development team…
At this point the interviewer cuts off Pardo, and his response gets quite jarbled. But immediately following, Pardo confirms that there is still “another unknown project” in the works. The big question is, was Pardo referring to the MMO ad still, or was he talking about another game altogether?
All this does is force us to speculate together. I’ll put my money on Lost Vikings III. It’s been a long time since I have seen Erik the Swift, Baleog the Fierce, and Olaf the Stout. The adventurous type would probably venture to guess World of Blackthorne, where players can endlessly grind on orcs with their trusty shotgun and mullet.

Wow, typing that made me...well you get the idea.
LOL jk we all know its Starcraft 3. You heard it here first.
Simple... Warcraft 3 followed by World of Warcraft. Diablo 3 followed by World of Diablo. Not very hard.
...LET'S GET THIS SHIT MADE AND ONTO LIVE ARCADE/PSN, STAT!
And if they made Starcraft into an MMO, my entire life would be lost to Blizzard. However, I hope they would make it play like Tabula Rasa. (Great MMO. Best play style if you ask me. I just wish there was something to do in that game.)
BEST RACING GAME EVER TO DATE.
Worlds of Starcraft
Rock N' Roll Racing '09
Blackthorne 3D Forever (lol)
Trust me.
but i love Squee.wupiwupi moar
I hope it's world of starcraft. WoW bored me, I'm currently on DDO (trying LOTRO and then AoC next), but wow. WoS would be so damn beautiful. Imagine being a dropship pilot, jinxing towards an LZ, marines all packed in the back praying they make it there alive...
