Some of you may know already that the secret Blizzard project aka "Titan" was canceled:
Following Blizzard Entertainment's surprise announcement yesterday that it had canceled MMO Titan after seven years of development, sources have come forward to discuss what the game--which would have been a follow-up to World of Warcraft--was all about.
According to three people speaking with Kotaku, the game was going to take place on a near-future version of Earth, after mankind successfully defended itself from an alien attack. Players could enlist in one of three factions, and locations were said to include places like the west coast of the United States, as well as Europe, South America, and Australia.
As you might expect, Blizzard's plan was to create a massive virtual world to explore, with new locations added over time as expansions, according to the report.[...]
Explaining Titan's cancellation yesterday, Blizzard co-founder Mike Morhaime said: "We didn't find the fun. We didn't find the passion. We talked about how we put it through a reevaluation period, and actually, what we reevaluated is whether that's the game we really wanted to be making. The answer is no."
Another Blizzard executive, Christ Metzen, added that the decision to cancel Titan was "excruciating." Canceling the game was a costly decision, too, according to a survey of video game industry analysts.
