Tags: Flagship StudiosGamespot PC have done an interview with Bill Roper of Blizzard Games fame. They talk about Roper and Co.'s new development studio, Flagship Studios and said studio's first game.
BR: Well, I can leak a couple of things the game isn’t, though, just to get you thinking. It isn’t a classic fantasy story, it isn’t set in some place you’ve never heard of, and it isn’t a sports title. I know that this pretty much shoots down Bilbo’s Backyard Baseball, but I don’t want to get people’s hopes up too high for something we aren’t working on.
So... a game by Blizzard vets that isn't classic high fantasy and may well be set in some kind of modern-day or sci-fi setting (since it's set in someplace we've heard of)? Sign me up!
