Blizzard's hard at work on a secret fifth project photo

The good folks at Blizzard reportedly have something new up their sleeves, but don't get your hopes up; it'll most likely be a matter of years, not months, before we here any big announcements officially.

The company is currently working on StarCraft II, Diablo III, the next expansion for World of Warcraft, and a mysterious next-generation MMO. But, according to the description for a recent job opening at Blizzard, a fifth project is in development on top of the aforementioned games.

The posting calls for a client engineer for the unannounced title, but that's literally all there is to the story. Vague, huh? I know WoW is still mind-blowingly popular as always, but what about us non-MMO players?

Another Warcraft would be just lovely, I think. Or, perhaps an all-new IP is on the cards? Your guess is as good as mine. Assuming the decision was up to you, what would you want Blizzard to come out with next?

If they're going to whore out the Warcraft franchise some more, they might as well bring back that one Warcraft Adventures game back from the dead.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Starcraft Battlefront. Complete with vehicles, bunkers, air units and evolutions.

I'm getting sick of World of Warcraft expansions. How about returning to the roots of Warcraft and make Warcraft 4? Or better yet a totally new ip!

Hellz yeah,Lost Vikings FTW.Not sure how it would translate into a current gen game,maybe be a bit too drastic of a change.A Lost Vikings PSN and/or XBLA title would be much more appropriate.But unfortunatley,I think this has about as much of a chance as Nintendo resurrecting Earthbound....sigh.I need a drink.

Lost Vikings is rubbish! How about Rock and Roll Racing 2, please and thanks.

R & R racing was cool,but I think Criterion pretty much has the whole arcade racing genre covered.

I'm just going to sit here and wait for them to reveal it.
but I sincerely hope that when it's a MMO that I can play both with only one subscription and not have to pay a timely fee for them both.

Warcraft 4 would make me very happy. I can't see that ever happening though.
