"In terms of new IP, our pipeline is in a better position than ever before in our history. we're committed to incubating new initiatives," Morhaime said, adding that the developer is looking at new platforms like mobile.

Some of the projects that Adham is overseeing include "great ideas" that Blizzard was working on before he came back. But others are brand-new IPs, apparently. As you might have guessed, Blizzard doesn't plan to rush these games to market, if they are ever released at all.

"We now have multiple dedicated incubation teams that are being led by some of our most experienced game designers at Blizzard," Morhaime said. "I should say that creating new, Blizzard-quality games on any platform will take time. And as we've shown in the past, we're not going to release any games that we don't feel live up to our expectations or those of our players.

"When we do bring new experiences to current or new platforms for new and existing IPs, they're going to be ideas that are our teams are passionate about and that we think there is a large audience for."
