I do count WoW, Hearthstone and Heroes of the Storm all as new IPs. Blizzard seems to employ the Nintendo model: make new IPs with existing characters/universes.

Hmm.  Hearthstone I'm struggling with, but you consider World of Warcraft a new IP too?

It's literally a continuation of the story of Warcraft 3, just delivered in a different genre.

So if we're stretching that logic, do you consider Guilty Gear 2 a new IP compared to Guilty Gear 1?  It features the characters of GG1 and continues the story, but is a complete genre shift from the first game.

Can't comment on Guilty Gear since I don't know what those games are but Warcraft is an RTS and World of Warcraft a MMO, to me that a different IP (like say Super Mario Bros vs Paper Mario)
