Blue's News is reporting on a rumor story originating from French gaming site NoFrag that Blizzard's next MMO may actually be an MMOFPS. The report, which has been put through The Google, states that the game would contain a social / lifestyle element a'la The Sims, alongside an FPS component where players would vie for objectives. Seems like an odd pairing.

With no sources to confirm the rumor, this story is simply that, a rumor. However, Blizzard has stated that whatever their new MMOG was, it would be "significantly differentiated enough" from World of Warcraft. I suppose this counts!

Assuming that something got lost-in-translation and Blizzard really was developing an MMOFPS, would you be interested? Let us know in the comments below!


This is quite interesting. While I lost all faith in Blizzard (Micro-transactions in WoW, No LAN support for SC2, etc..) maybe they will follow down a different path here.

Blizzard is working on a MMOFPS
Information obtained (which are from someone inside, near that project) sustain that the next MMO from Blizzard would be in part a FPS. It would be in a futuristic universe. That will be a clear change from MMORPG like World of Warcraft.

In this new MMO, each players would have 2 "life": It's first would be a sort on Sims Online, big hub with social interactions and the possibility to connect yourself to a second life. That second life would be the combat part in subjective view (third person perhaps).

We do not have more details for now. We must precise however that this project got nothing to do with the rumors on a Call of Duty MMO.

An hour of woes and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you- stand, Men of the West! "

 If they did do an MMOFPS it would probably be a Call of Duty online.
Considering Activision and Blizzard are now one and the same, and Activision CEO Bobby Coteck has been wanting a COD MMO for a while now.
