I have been thinking lately. Many people assume that next years releases will include Starcraft 2 (a given) and the WoW expansion (which is unannounced). The first expansion took approximatley 2 years and 2 months to complete and release. The second expansion took about 1 year and 10 months to complete and release. If the expansion trend remains relatively the same the next expansion be due in late 2010 and possibly even early 2011. Burning Crusade was announced October 28 2005 and was released January 16 2007. Wrath of the Lich King was announced on August 3 2007 and released on November 13 2008. If you average these announcement dates compared to the relase dates its approximately 1 year and 3 months from announcement to release. The next expansion has yet to be announced and its already August. This would put it on pace to most likely being released in 2011. This is all just speculation but im just trying to find ways to keep our hopes alive.
SC2's release date was just announced a few weeks ago to be early 2010. The new WoW expansion that was announced a few hours ago's release date is planned for late 2010. Blizzard recently said that there were two planned 2010 releases. Morhaime, on the DirecTV stream, said that those are the two 2010 releases.
If you want to be REALLY optimistic, you can dig into the word "planned" in "planned 2010 releases." Maybe they'll finish Diablo 3 this year and release it in 2009 (jk)? Maybe they'll finish Diablo 3 in 2010 and release it late in the year (as an unplanned early release).
Who knows.
Or, you can accept that it'll be released in 2011 and just take up a new game until then hehe.
I wonder how many expansions of WoW there will be.. The level cap is 85 for this next one Cataclysm, not 90. Maybe that means they're gonna have another expansion after this one making 90 the maximum level cap.. Which means more distractions for other Blizzard games.
Yeah yeah.. I know they have separate game teams, but still.
They make alot of money pumping out WOW expansions.
Sadly.
Getting sick of that game, seriously. Why the only company that can actually pump good games just freakin' focus on their cash cow which is their worst game still alive.
Wouldn't be so bad if absolutely -anything- else would be worth a damn. Gaming is so much full of crap right now.
It was confirmed by Mike that only SC2 and the new WoW Xpac will ship in 2010 during the live feed. there is already a thread on this subject located here
