Blizzard confirms 4th title in the works
Long-rumored, recently confirmed.
In addition to work on Wrath of the Lich King, StarCraft II, and the recently announced Diablo III, Blizzard Entertainment has a fourth title in progress. In a video interview with Trailer Welten Rob Pardo confirmed the untitled project, which was described last year on Blizzard's Job Openings page as an "Next Gen MMO."
====
A few months ago you offered a job on the official Blizzard webpage, Considering a next gen MMO... A community manager added that its about a game that hasn't been announced yet. Is there any new information on that or is Diablo the mentioned next gen MMO?
Rob Pardo: No, its obviously not, since it is not an MMO! We have another development team, that is...
So there is still one project?
Rob Pardo: Yeah, there is still one "unknown" project...
Could this project mark a departure from Blizzard's "Craft" universes? Only time will tell. For more information follow the links below.

Or perhaps it is World of Starcraft!

Re: Blizzard confirms 4th title in the works
don't think it'll be a new WoW since it still shows little sign of slowing down anytime soon and when it does it'll still more than likely have enough active players to justify keeping the servers up. I'm guessing it'll be a new IP Mmorpg with no ties to previous franchises.

Maybe a new version of Blackthorne?

No marketability.
Maybe "Uniworld of Starcraft: Ghost."
