As a seasoned gamer with decades of gaming under my belt, the prospect of Blizzard working on a new open-world shooter game has me positively giddy! With my memories of StarCraft etched into my very soul, I can’t help but wonder if this new project might be the long-awaited sequel we’ve all been waiting for.
A job listing, published on November 13, indicates that Blizzard Entertainment is currently recruiting for a new, as-yet unnamed open-world shooter game set to release in the future. The position description does not provide much information about the nature of the game at this time.
The job ad for the Associate Design Director, Innovation says this person will be the “vision holder and owner of key strategic innovations” for the upcoming unannounced “open-world shooter game.”
The job calls for someone to help implement strategies that have “shown potential but have not yet permeated the AAA space.” The successful candidate will work with Blizzard’s engineering, art, and audio teams to help guide the project from concept to release. This wording specifically suggests whatever this game is, it might be early in development.
As a prospective candidate for this gaming industry role, based on the job posting via VGC, I’d be looking at a minimum yearly income of $124,400. With dedication and exceptional performance, there’s even an opportunity to climb up to a maximum annual salary of $230,300.
This job ad was only posted this week, but journalist Jason Schreier’s new book, Play Nice: The Rise, Fall, and Future of Blizzard Entertainment, contained a passage mentioning that a StarCraft shooter is, or was, in development at Blizzard. Whether or not this newly posted job ad is connected to that is unknown.
It’s been whispered that the upcoming StarCraft shooter is being overseen by Dan Hay, a seasoned developer who previously worked at Ubisoft on titles like Far Cry before moving to Blizzard Entertainment in 2022 as vice president and general manager.
Approximately half of the games Blizzard undertakes fail to reach completion, making it uncertain whether the next Blizzard shooting game will actually be released. Earlier this year in January, Microsoft revealed that Blizzard had scrapped a survival game known internally as Odyssey, with some team members shifting to a secretive project rumored to be a StarCraft-themed shooter.
