- Blizzard is hiring an Associate Design Director for a new unannounced open-world shooter game.
- The game is likely to be an AAA experience, as implied by the ad. Additionally, it could be the rumored Starcraft FPS.
- No more details have been revealed officially so far, so it is best to take the speculations with a grain of salt.
Blizzard is one of the biggest companies lying under the Xbox umbrella. So it’s natural for the devs to often have plenty of unannounced projects in the works, such as a new free-to-play strategy game. However, as implied by a new job listing, the company might finally be branching out towards one of its lesser-explored genres. Blizzard is now hiring for a new unannounced open-world shooter game.
The studio is seeking an Associate Design Director for a new AAA project, which has not been revealed in any way in the past.
Why it matters: Fans think that the Blizzard job listing for the unannounced open-world shooter could refer to the highly rumored Starcraft FPS.
The requirements section of the ad clarifies that the employee should have at least shipped a single AAA entry, so it is likely to be a large-scale open-world project. Unfortunately, no specific details regarding the game engine—or anything else yet—have been mentioned.
As the Design Director of Innovation, you will be the vision holder and owner of key strategic innovations on an upcoming open-world shooter game.
On the flip side, gamers speculate that Blizzard could be talking about the highly-awaited rumored Starcraft FPS, which was previously teased by an accredited insider.
Unfortunately, speculations can only paint an unclear picture until Blizzard officially announces more tidbits in the coming years. So, take it with a grain of salt.
