OnlineWelten.com’s video interview with Blizzard VP Rob Pardo during the Worldwide Invitational revealed the development of a mystery title.

“There is still one unknown project,” Pardo says in the interview. “We have another development team.”

When queried, Pardo affirmed that Blizzard’s recent job listings for an “unannounced next-gen MMO” were not related to Diablo III. According to Shacknews, the company had previously stated that the project was not a World of Warcraft expansion either.

Feel free to have your say on what game you think they’re developing.
