Blizzard Says Warcraft 4 "Depends On the Players"

"We love RTS, we love this genre."

Starcraft II lead developer Tim Morten in a new interview said that after Legacy of the Void, the players speak up for Warcraft 4.

"I can tell you that, today, our focus is 100% on this content that we've announced here at the show. What the future holds really depends so much on what we hear back from players. We love RTS, we love this genre. The StarCraft universe is fantastic; the Warcraft universe clearly has more stories that can be told. There are new Blizzard IPs; there's the potential to make completely new stories altogether. We want to hear back from our players what they would be excited about, but as a team, we've just been so busy finishing Legacy of the Void and teeing up this new content that we haven't had a chance to make any decisions."

He also revealed why they decided to create episodic content instead of a full sequel or a new trilogy. "The single biggest factor was the messaging that we've gotten from players that they don't want the story to end. They really enjoy playing campaign style content and that they would like to see more of it from us. I think secondarily, but also important, is that the team is so excited about continuing to produce this kind of content. And Nova really is such a fan-favorite character and so intriguing in terms of the 'ghost' abilities that she possesses; she seemed like a great place to start this kind of storytelling experimentation.'

StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void is scheduled for launch on PC on November 10.
