暴雪的新IP管道“比以往任何时候都更好”

暴雪首席执行官Mike Morhaime戏弄了主要的新IPS,确认该管道的位置比公司历史上的位置更好

暴雪首席执行官Mike Morhaime确认该工作室正在孵化许多新的IP和想法,以及现有IPS中新标题的计划。

Activision在2017年第二季度的收入电话中充满了暴风雪的好消息。该公司不仅从守望先锋和炉石传说中带来了大量的收入,而且该公司还在开发一些新的IP来填写其未来的发行版。

During the earnings call, Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime teased the new IP slate by saying the current pipeline of games and ideas is better now than in the company’s entire history–and considering Blizzard made gems like Warcraft, Starcraft, and Diablo, that’s saying a lot.

“First and foremost I’ll say the bulk of our focus continues to be supporting our existing players and releasing high quality content for our existing games,” Mr. Morhaime said during the quarterly earnings call, confirming the company’s core focus will be on the here and now. “This quarter is a great example of that approach. We delivered a consistent slew of updates and new content onto all of our games, and that has driven record engagement even without a new game launch.”

有了许多新的IP和新的孵化想法,对暴雪的未来看起来很光明。

“我们也对未来感到非常兴奋。除了支持我们的所有现场游戏外,我们还致力于孵化新计划。我们还在考虑不同的平台,尤其是全球。”

莫哈梅(Morhaime)确认,“就新IP而言,我们的管道比以往任何时候都更好,”与我们先前关于秘密暴雪项目的报告保持一致。

“去年,与我和弗兰克·皮尔斯(Frank Pearrce)共同创立暴风雪的艾伦·阿德姆(Allen Adham)回到了公司,承担了协调我们在这方面的努力的任务。这包括我们已经开始探索的一些好主意。因此,我们现在有多个专门的孵化团队,这些团队由暴雪中一些经验丰富的游戏设计师领导。“

We’ve reported that Blizzard is working on a bunch of secret projects, including a brand new unannounced Diablo game which could be Diablo 4 or even Diablo II Remastered, as well as new mobile games, and even a new first-person shooter with a “robust engine”.

但是,莫哈梅姆先生说,没有保证新的IP或想法会实现的炒作,即使他们这样做,我们也不应该期望有一段时间的新游戏。

“I should say that creating new Blizzard-quality games on any platform will take time, and as we’ve shown in the past we’re not going to release any games that we don’t feel live up to our expectations,” the Blizzard CEO said, bringing to mind the company’s failed Project Titan game.

“当我们确实为新的和现有的IPS带来新的或新平台的新经验时,它们将成为我们团队充满热情的想法,并且我们认为有很多受众群体。”

暴雪已经确认,在Activision在2017财年的完整时间轴上,该游戏将在今年12月结束,而是将重点放在其大量流行的多平台游戏中的利润丰厚的数字内容更新。
