Blizzard Project Titan rumors!!!

[Mohikanen 45]

Remember this is rumors and haven't been confirmed!

 

Game Universe

It's based on Earth's history, but also includes a high amount of fiction. It will have a "deep history", just as Warcraft and Starcraft.

They're intending to include many Warcraft elements into Titan's world. Mostly Easter Eggs, but can also extend to entire characters being ported into the new game, one way or another. 

There will be a lot of Time Travel.

When it comes to weapons, we'll have almost everything at our disposal, from magic to guns.

Heavy use of Greek, Roman and Viking myths.

They've invited some established writers (Richard A. Knaak for example) to help with the storyline.

 

 

Game-play

It's an MMORPG. We'll play from a 3rd person view, but there will also be a first person view during "events". No extra clarification as to the nature of these events could be given.

TAB targeting in combat.

It will benefit from a completely new game engine. 

Graphics will be in the established "Blizzard style".

Primarily a PC game, but next-gen consoles are still being considered. Probably after launch, as with D3.

Expected 12+ PEGI.

It's designed with eSports in mind. They will try to grow it into a successful eSport.

There will be "clan" housing. No details on player-housing.

Last but not least, the game will have an Auction House. Nothing conclusive about a Real-Money Auction House but it is possible. As an extra tidbit, Blizzard was also considering introducing a RMAH into WoW at one point, but apparently not anymore.

 

 

Miscellaneous

150 developers working on it now. Last we've been told, in September last year, there were just a bit over 100, so the team is growing at a nice pace, quickly becoming the biggest one. They're about to bring new Community Managers into the team and some testers that will be needed in the near future. Many of the new team members have come from Blizzard's other projects.

Speaking of inside transfers, Jay Wilson is on the Titan team. Please don't go overboard with this. ^^

English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Polish localization now. More will come during beta.

They were considering implementing easy in-game recording at one point, unsure of the state of this at the moment.

BLIZZCON 2013 - Titan Teaser, details on expansions for all other major franchises (SC2, D3, WoW). There will be other small Titan teasers at the event but nothing major. They don't want to show any game-play until they have a solid date for beta.

Speaking of which, current plan is to open Family & Friends testing (Alpha stage basically) in Q1 2014.

The game has a name already that has been changed multiple times over the course of the development process. Unknown unfortunately.  

They're going full-out when it comes to the soundtrack. Each zone will have its own song, and the songs will vary vastly in type, rhythm. We've reported before that Jason Hayes has returned to Blizzard, so this is definitely not surprising.

 

That's about it. There are no mind blowing statements here, but I think the chances are very high that for the first time since we found out about Project Titan, we have a solid starting platform on which we can base our expectations and speculation.

Sadly it seems like it's impossible to show the video here since it's a live stream and not a youtube video.

 

 

I'm extremely curious to hear what you think about this!

Titan trade mark is now filled, but not by blizzard.

 

Respawn Entertainment has filed a trademark for the word "Titan", usable for "Video and computer game programs; video games discs; video game software".

 

 

We always had a solid idea that "Titan" is just the internal codename for Blizzard's new MMO (like "Project Hydra" was for Diablo 3), and I guess this sets it in stone. Respawn Entertainment describes itself as an "independent video game development studio" that's "currently working on its first title," so there isn't any apparent connection with Blizzard.

 

Meanwhile, we're still waiting for Blizzard to register a trademark for their new MMO. If they plan on releasing any info about it at this year's Blizzcon, like our recent leak hinted, we should see one pop up this summer. As a guideline, they filed the trademark for Mists of Pandaria at the end of July, with Blizzcon that year being towards the end of October.

 

And since we're on the subject, I want to clarify one of the most often asked questions on TF's forums: yes, this website will change its name to fit with Project Titan's actual commercial name. As soon as I know it, I'll make the switch. Some "Titan" mentions will probably remain here and there, for nostalgia's sake if nothing else. These past two years, while a bit on the quiet side, have been nothing but awesome so I have no intention to completely erase them while advancing forward.

Sounds really interesting if it turns out to be true, i really wonder how will mix of myths work out, since that topic is always interesting.

That Titan was just a codename isn't something new I can't remember WoWs codename atm though.

 

I don't know what I'm hoping for really, as long as it's something good! (LOL)

Interesting. So if its it hasn't been trademarked by Blizzard what name does everyone think they will pick if this indeed true?

I don't think many people know and the ones that does probably work for blizzard, they often keep this a secret for as long as possible, I think it was D3 that was called Project hydra, almost until the first teaser trailer was released.

Cant wait, after WoW no MMORPG has really done it for me, let's hope Titan will..
