Out of all the IPs that Blizzard owns, few of them appear extra underused than StarCraft, which is a disgrace as a result of the sport’s setting looks like a straightforward match into a number of totally different genres like, say, an open world shooter. If that instance sounds very particular, that’s as a result of it was referenced by Blizzard itself in a latest job posting on its web site.
The job advert seeks an affiliate design director to assist with an unannounced “upcoming open-world shooter sport,” whereas usually being imprecise in regards to the title and invoking the spirit of David Bowie (oddly sufficient). Different job postings flagged as associated search a design director, a lead sport designer, and designers to construct out missions, fight, and enemy AI, however none of them overtly observe these positions are for an open-world shooter; solely that these are for an unannounced sport.
The job postings all have helped to spool up hopes {that a} StarCraft shooter, which was confirmed by Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier as “a mission in growth,” is certainly transferring ahead, although we additionally should level out that this try was made by Blizzard earlier than and obtained canned after two years of labor. Fingers crossed that this time round this one may materialize.
