Jeffrey Kaplan, the game director for World of Warcraft made it known that he's very much involved in the next MMO in the works at Blizzard. Fortunately for us, Kaplan decided to spill a few beans on what gamers can expect from the company, and whether or not we can expect their next MMO to appear on consoles.

“Well, we definitely aren’t adapting ‘World of Warcraft’ to the console at this time,” Kaplan replied. He explained that people think Blizzard developers only play and like PC games, but that’s not the case; the games they chose to make just happened to work better for the PC.
“So I don’t think ‘World of Warcraft’ would really work that well on the console,” he continued, “but that’s not to say that other MMOs couldn’t. And we have a pretty savvy group of console developers — a lot of the guys we inherited from Swingin’ Ape really know what they’re doing on next-gen consoles. So we might have a few tricks up our sleeves in that regard.”
There aren't many other details known about the title. Kaplin played it coy when it came to even discussing the setting of the game or when we can expect to see the game.“So I don’t think ‘World of Warcraft’ would really work that well on the console,” he continued, “but that’s not to say that other MMOs couldn’t.
