Quote :: World of Warcraft developer Blizzard has confirmed that it has ceased development on the never-quite-announced MMO codenamed “Titan.” The studio says the decision was “excruciating,” but that it made the decision after over four years of development in part to protect its relationship with its player base.

Speaking with Polygon, Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime and senior vice president of story and franchise development Chris Metzen discussed the development process and the decision to pull the plug on the project even after rebooting it last year.

At Gamescom, Blizzard told us that it is working on World of Warcraft 2. However, in discussion with Polygon, Morhaime says that he hopes to support World of Warcraft 1 in perpetuity and that the company isn’t spending its time on another MMO right now.

Titan joins Starcraft Ghost and Warcraft Adventures as another high-profile title that the studio decided to move on from. Nova, the protagonist of Starcraft Ghost lives on in Blizzard’s in-development MOBA, Heroes of the Storm.
