Microsoft acquiring Activision Blizzard is huge news, no question — only it's not the only big thing on Blizzard's plate. The studio behind the likes of Overwatch, Diablo, and World of Warcraft has just "announced" its next game.

It might technically be announced, but nosotros know next to nothing most this brand-new game. Co-ordinate to the Inside Blizzard weblog mail, the team is "going on a journey to a whole new universe." At that place'due south a lot of grand talk about new stories and adventures in the post, but the only concrete information we have is that this will be a "survival game for PC and console." There'south as well a second piece of concept art across the ane at the top of this commodity. Have a look:

It seems Blizzard itself doesn't know exactly what this new survival game will exist either. The blog includes links to nearly a dozen open up roles at the studio. The project calls for developers in the art, blueprint, and engineering departments. Whatever this game becomes, it will be the kickoff new IP from Blizzard since Overwatch debuted in 2022.

Equally exciting as a new game can be, Blizzard — along with its other half, Activision — is still nether scrutiny. Employees accept staged multiple walkouts in response to CEO Bobby Kotick's mishandling of the visitor through years of reported toxic workplace weather condition. He'll remain CEO during the Microsoft merger despite this.
