Blizzard higher-up makes vague reference to possible console game project

In the wake of Starcraft II, World of Warcraft’s expansion on the way, and the massive expectations for Diablo III, Blizzard VP Michael Ryder refuses to stop making subtle references to possible new games, according to MCV.

Recently, Ryder was quoted saying, “…we play all kinds of games at Blizzard. We try to learn wherever we can. We play console games and we are up-to-speed on the console platforms. And if we see an opportunity where the game design would work well on the console, then maybe we will go that way. We just haven’t announced anything yet.”

The operative phrase here being, “…we just haven’t announced anything yet.” The more hopeful of us could be led to think this means Blizzard is plotting some sort of nefarious console game, reminiscent of their early developing days.  Do I smell a Lost Vikings sequel? Ryder went on to comment that they’re not pigeonholed into PC development, but make their design decisions based on what they think is, “best for our players.”

The prospect of a Blizzard produced console game is nothing to scoff at, but it’s much too early to guess at what the company could conceivably have up their sleeves. We’ll report back if more details emerge!
