DICE 08: Blizzard lists cancelled games throughout company's history

Posted Feb 8, 2008 at 10:01PM by QJ Staff Listed in: PC Gaming Tags: Blizzard, Frank Pearce, Mike Morhaime, Rob Pardo, Wikipedia

It may not be breaking news, but you might want to be let in on the buzz. Blizzard Entertainment's CEO, Mike Morhaime - together with Rob Pardo, Senior VP of Game Design, and Frank Pearce, Executive VP of Product Development - were highlighted in DICE 08's Summerlin Ballroom event yesterday.

They were speaking in a segment tackling the company's history, when they revealed to the audience a list of games they've canceled throughout the company's existence:

Games People Play
Crixa
Shattered Nations
Pax Imperia
Denizen
Warcraft Adventures
Nomad
Raiko

During the segment Blizzard entitled "From Developer to Worldwide Publisher", however, Blizzard did not explain or expound on the reasons why the games were cancelled. However, Pax Imperia II was known to have been sold to THQ back in the late 90s, and we may remember it coming to life as Pax Imperia: Eminent Domain (and what a beaut it was!).

Warcraft Adventures just didn't agree with Blizzard's tastes - we were told that for sure. But Blizzard hasn't listed StarCraft: Ghost either and that should be reason to celebrate. Though its development ground to a halt, at least we know it isn't officially cancelled. This blogger just wishes that somehow, somewhere, Blizzard is already working on Diablo III.
