Blizzard Announced An Untitled Survival Game

Bliz­zard has announced it’s work­ing on a new sur­vival game for PC and con­soles in, what appears to be, a brand-new uni­verse. Unfor­tu­nate­ly, this is all any­one real­ly knows right now, along with a peek at some con­cept art for the project.

“Bliz­zard is embark­ing on our next quest,” Bliz­zard wrote in a blog post. “We are going on a jour­ney to a whole new uni­verse, home to a brand-new sur­vival game for PC and con­sole. A place full of heroes we have yet to meet, sto­ries yet to be told, and adven­tures yet to be lived. A vast realm of pos­si­bil­i­ty, wait­ing to be explored.”

The announce­ment serves as a large scale recruit­ment ad for the game. Bliz­zard is look­ing to fill a num­ber of posi­tions for the title, includ­ing lev­el design­er, lead soft­ware engi­neer, senior char­ac­ter artist, and more.

“Every sto­ry needs a teller,” the blog post added. “And every world needs builders. What if that could be you? For thir­ty years, Bliz­zard has been cre­at­ing uni­vers­es for mil­lions of play­ers around the globe. This requires a diverse team of devel­op­ers will­ing to lend their voic­es, to lis­ten and to be heard. That is our mission.”

This new sur­vival title will be Bliz­zard’s first new IP since Over­watch back in 2016. The announce­ment the sur­vival game comes short­ly after Microsoft began the process of pur­chas­ing Activi­sion Bliz­zard in a near­ly $70 bil­lion dol­lar deal. Con­sid­er­ing this game will like­ly be ful­ly owned by Microsoft when it’s done, so it’s up in the air if this game will be head­ing to PlaySta­tion or Nintendo.
