The Entertainment Software Association, who amongst other things put on the ever important E3 has another member today, Activision Blizzard. They parted ways in 2008, stating “business reasons” were behind the departure. Could this mean that we’re due to see World of Warcraft at E3 next year?

A new transmedia project from industry veterans who have worked on Everquest, Guild Wars, Apollo 13, The DaVinci Code, and much more are working together to create an all new MMO/Movie experience. The team is hoping to raise $1 million to put together a playable demo and trailer for the film. But you won’t find this one on Kickstarter. They’re doing it all through their website.
