fter the staggering success of World of Warcraft, the tiniest hints that Blizzard was working on a next-gen MMO code-named Titan is worth paying attention to. The only problem was, after seven years, we still didn't know anything about it. The last we'd heard, Blizzard had restarted the game and trimmed seventy people off of the team. Now the developer has officially confirmed that Titan has been cancelled, citing a lack of passion in the project.

"We had created World of Warcraft, and we felt really confident that we knew how to make MMOs," Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime explained. "So we set out to make the most ambitious thing that you could possibly imagine. And it didn't come together. We didn't find the fun. We didn't find the passion. We talked about how we put it through a reevaluation period, and actually, what we reevaluated is whether that's the game we really wanted to be making. The answer is no."
