Activision Blizzard and Chinese publisher NetEase have reportedly cancelled an unannounced World of Warcraft MMO following a disagreement between the two parties.
As reported by Bloomberg, the unannounced project – internally known as Neptune and in development for three years – wasn’t a direct adaptation of the existing WoW MMO, but rather an MMORPG spin-off set in the same universe but during a different time period.
However, despite the project’s already lengthy development, NetEase is now said to have disbanded its creative team – consisting of more than 100 developers – after a disagreement with Activision Blizzard “over financial terms” resulted in both parties pulling the plug.
