Blizzard Entertainment's COO Paul Sams has been talking with Gamasutra about the mysterious Titan-project - the next-generation MMO the company is working on - and how it relates to World of Warcraft. "The thing that we hope will happen is that it will not stop World of Warcraft but we believe will eclipse it," he said.
""We've spent a lot of time over the last number of years transitioning those people off [of World of Warcraft], and having great people below them that were trained up by them to run World of Warcraft. Those people have been doing it for the last couple of years without the assistance of those people that created it."
According to Sams, Titan is actually in some form of playable state at the Blizzard offices.
"We're playing it already. It is a total ball to play. We think that the reach of that product is greater than anything that we've done before. We're very excited about that. I believe that it's the type of game that will have a very long life, much like World of Warcraft has."
