Blizzard Has Third Dev Team

Frank Pearce, founding member and senior vice president of product development for Blizzard Entertainment revealed that the development house has a third team working on an unannounced project. Pearce revealed the existence of the third team and its project as part of a discussion with Gamasutra on the company's workforce. Pearce stated that, "Our global headcount is 2,700. And most of that is customer service for World of Warcraft! In terms of development staff it’s probably around 350. World of Warcraft is about 135 people, 40 for Starcraft II, 40 for team 3, our cinematics team is about 85 guys. Then there’s sound and Q/A and that sort of thing." Pearce continued, "Team 3 is working on something really awesome. I can’t give you any hints, but it’s totally awesome."

Radical!
