Blizzard cancels MMO Titan after seven years

Blizzard has cancelled Titan, the next-gen MMO it was working on for seven years.

Titan was expected to be the successor to the behemoth that is World of Warcraft, but the studio couldn't "find the fun" and decided to scrap it.

"We had created World of Warcraft, and we felt really confident that we knew how to make MMOs," Blizzard CEO and co-founder Mike Morhaime told Polygon.

"So we set out to make the most ambitious thing that you could possibly imagine. And it didn't come together."

Morhaime explained that Blizzard as a studio decided this wasn't the product they wanted to deliver.

"We didn't find the fun," he added. "We didn't find the passion. We talked about how we put it through a re-evaluation period, and actually, what we re-evaluated is whether that's the game we really wanted to be making. The answer is no."

Blizzard is currently working on an expansion for Stacraft 2 and a MOBA called Heroes of the Storm. A new expansion pack for World of Warcraft, Warlords of Draenor, is also due to release in November.
