According to several sources working from BlizzCon transcripts, during one of the development panels for Starcraft II one of the panelists made mention of Wacraft IV.
While discussing the unorthodox Starcraft II release plans, executive vice-president of game design for Blizzard, Rob Pardo let slip that the Warcraft IV campaigns would be released in the same episodic manner.
It's not much to go on, but this could be construed as a confirmation on Warcraft IV by Blizzard.

D3
SC2
WC4
Interesting years to look forward to.
They can be expecting billions of $ just from releasing the 3 titles which were announced earlier (SC 2, wotlk, d3), with the expected wc4 coming somewhere nextyear or maybe beginning 2010, blizz should be looking at becoming the leadmanufacterer by far. Vivendi must be pleased with blizz ;]
Blizzard can't make a bad game. WC3 my fav. I guess WC4 will be even better. For sure!
But, it'll go out in 5 years. Could they ban tiehack&maphack in w3 ? :/
"Another female questioner asked for all the males to look as sexy as Kalecgos. While Chris Robinson said they had no immediate plans for it, they'd try to fit it in for the next expansion. He then corrected himself, adding "I'm sorry, if there is another expansion." I think by now we know there is another one."

I think only a few of us will still be playing when WC4 comes out.
looks like blizzard is working hard at the moment... WTB all 3 titles soon as possible please :)
They don't want to talk about it, because it will ruin the release of SC2, everyone will only be looking forward to Warcraft :D.
I don't want some gay naga race and hopefully we can look forward to sexy campaigns as well!
WOOHOO Go blizzard !
