![]() ![]() I have a little bit of trouble picturing someone as sweet as Christie Golden working on a series that’s basically all torture and brimstone, but then I remember how dark some of her past writing has gotten, and it doesn’t seem quite as far-fetched. ![]() We do know something is in the works regarding Diablo, though whether it’s an expansion, Diablo IV, or some kind of spin-off is anyone’s guess. However, I see no reason she must be limited to franchises she’s already worked on. Blizzard’s said they were moving on from story content for StarCraft II, but they could always change their minds. The only other Blizzard franchise she’s worked on in the past is StarCraft, so perhaps she could be writing a new mission pack. Given she is in theory only there for a few months, I would think she’d be working on something with a clear beginning, middle, and end. It seems a bit early for them to be designing the plot of the next expansion in detail, and the continuous nature of WoW’s story doesn’t mesh with the temporary nature of her job at Blizzard. It would explain why she needs to be in close proximity to the development team(s).Ĭhristie Golden has the most history with the Warcraft universe, but I’m not sure things quite add up for her to be working on WoW. Why would it?Īgain, I might be jumping the gun, but my mind has turned to the possibility that she may be writing an entire game. While I’m not an expert, I have done some research on the process for how authors produce tie-in novels for Blizzard, and I’m pretty sure it doesn’t normally require actually working at the Blizzard offices for months. Therefore, the news of her doing more work with Blizzard excites me.īut what’s really intriguing is the question of just what she’s doing there. She’s written a number of excellent tie-in novels for Blizzard’s various games, and I have had enough sporadic contact with her over the years to determine she is a pretty excellent person. I’ve been a pretty big fan of Christie Golden’s for a while now, as both an author and a person. It seems Christie Golden has suddenly moved to California so that she can work at Blizzard’s main offices for a secret project that will last until October. So I’m possibly reading too much into something small, but I stumbled across a rather intriguing story last night.
