Rough day for next-gen MMOs

Well, we knew that Blizzard were working on their next-generation MMO Titan since 2006... and they're going to be working a bit longer as they basically did the "shake an etch-a-sketch" with the product, reassigning 70% of the group that was assigned to the product, leaving a core to make "large design and technnology changes" to the game, and now, the game is likely to have been a decade in development before it sees release... in 2016. Looks like we'll have a couple more "milk the base" expansions of World of Warcraft before then.

And in closer release news, Marvel Heroes was supposed to hit early release Tuesday, but unfortunately, they've discovered serious issues which meant the game wouldn't be ready today, and that's despite "96 straight hours of work" from its developers. They're hoping to open soon, but we'll see if this affects the game when it eventually comes out.

And in not so MM-Online games, looks like Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep will hit next month, and it will be the best game of Bunkers and Badasses (the BL version of D&D) EVAH.. well thebest game of B&B ever run by a foul mouthed, quite possible insane tweenaer with a fondness for high explosive. But nice to see the folks at Gearbox try something so different/silly with their final campaign DLC for Borderlands 2.
