We already know that Blizzard Entertainment has two
non-MMO games currenty under development: StarCraft II and Diablo III,
along with a new next-generation massively multiplayer game - possibly
a third World of Warcraft expansion. But is there a fifth game underway?
The rumor surfaced last week when Blizzard posted 2 new job
opportunities under the 'unannounced' category for two software
engineers (#1, #2). Blizzplanet also has what they claim is a quote from an
unnamed Blizzard rep which seems to confirm that they are indeed hiring
for an all new game project. Well, there is no announcement
or confirmation to confirm or deny at the moment, so everyone can all
but take guesses and throw blind fisty fits in the air. :-) And even if
they deny it .... coughs, I recall the denying of the existence of
Diablo 3 when the diablo3.com domain name was obtained by Blizzard ...
and a month and a half later, they announced Diablo 3...
Update: Diii.net follows up on indications that Blizzard is at work on a fifth project based on recent job listings. Word is this is a brand-new game, it will use the WoW engine for testing, but will use an entirely new engine built from the ground up for the finished game. What is not clear is whether this will be based on a new or an existing IP. |
