Blizzard "Failed Horrifically" with Titan

The Titan MMO failed "in every way that a project can fail."

Overwatch Game Director Jeff Kaplan has shed some light on the canceled Titan project.

"You had a really amazing group that was working on Titan. They were really talented individuals, but we failed horrifically in every way... In every way that a project can fail. It was devastating," he told Gamespot."You had these people who either came from other companies or from within Blizzard, and were used to working on games that were very successful like a World of Warcraft, for example. To go through such a complete and utter failure is very hard for people who are used to experiencing success."

Kaplan also said that the Titan team felt pressure from Blizzards other successful franchises. "Nobody said a word, everyone was super supportive, but I think there was this inward embarrassment of like, 'No, we need to prove that we’re worthy of being at Blizzard too. We can make something that makes the company proud'," he said.
