The new MMO in the works from World of Warcraft veterans will tackle the player character being the hero of the story in a manner similar to Destiny 2.
Earlier this month, Greg Street and several other ex-World of Warcraft veterans unveiled Fantastic Pixel Castle, their new studio, and a debut MMO codenamed Ghost. The studio held a Q&A with viewers on YouTube earlier this month, where it was asked whether the game's story, world, and characters would treat every player character as the game's hero.
