Warcraft IV? Yeah, not going to happen for a while.

According to this Hellforge story, Blizzard yesterday mentioned that WarCraft IV will use the same trilogy release system as StarCraft II in a panel at BlizzCon yesterday.

Blizzard announced at the expo last night that StarCraft II would be release in three parts, each product focusing on a separate single-player campaign.

We’re chalking this up as rumour: Frank Pearce told us at GC that all Blizzard teams were currently working on projects and nothing was decided on WarCraft IV development.

Thanks, hiuspaa!

Blizzard co-founder Frank Pearce told VG247 as Games Convention that a fourth WarCraft game could be a next project for the firm, provided one of the company’s current teams was interested in making it.

“If there’s a team that’s passionate about doing another WarCraft RTS, then that’s definitely something we would consider,” he said.

Don’t get dressed up in your favourite orc costume just yet, though: Blizzard’s major development units are a tad busy at the moment.

“It’s nothing that we’re working on right now,” Pearce assured.

“We have development teams working on Wrath of the Lich King, StarCraft II, Diablo III, and when those teams are all off the projects they’re working on, they’ll be intimately involved in the the discussions about what’s next.”

Just imagine WarCraft IV, eh? Just imagine that.
