Blizzard: Big title to release every year

Blizzard to release a "front-line" title once per year.

When asked how the publisher would generate non-World of Warcraft revenue in the coming years, Blizzard COO Paul Sams said that they are planning to release a "front-line" title every year.

Whether 2009's title would consist of the continued milking of WoW, or if it would be StarCraft II or Diablo III, Sams was reluctant to comment.

However, he did reveal that the StarCraft Beta would be taking place in the coming months, adding:

"The beta will be played on a basic version of our new Battle.net architecture, which will give us the opportunity to test the game and the service in a live environment. Over time, we'll be adding features to deliver a second-generation Battle.net experience."
