As we’ve told you many times in the past, Blizzard is one of the most influential and successful development studios on the market. Some of their more popular titles on the market today including World of Warcraft, StarCraft II and the forthcoming Diablo III. However, Blizzard is also working on another MMO that is currently codenamed Titan and, like much of Blizzard’s doings, is shrouded in mystery.

Luckily, Blizzard’s Paul Sams has recently sat down with Gamasutra to talk Titan. According to Sams, the game is “the most ambitios thing [Blizzard] has ever attempted” going on to say that many of the most talented World of Warcraft engineers are working on the game. He also says that Titan will be Blizzard’s “next big thing” following the release of Diablo III. Of course, while we would like to say that gives us a more solid release date  it doesn’t as Diablo III still does not have a date.

Unfortunately, Sams didn’t give us much information as to the gameplay only closing out by saying that the company is very confident in the project and that they are have already begun playing in. Any guesses as to what Blizzard’s next MMO will be?

COO of Blizzard, Paul Sams, is looking away from Blizzard’s usual method of money making (ex. World of Warcraft) and onto less conventional things such as the NFL.

This news was made known after it was noted that Paul Sims and his family (wife and 3 kids) have been listed as part-owners of the Pittsburg Steelers. Sure, this news may not have much relevance to the video game industry but perhaps we can expect to see the Steelers appearing in Cataclysm? Then again, maybe not.
