In any case, if the acquisition has not yet officially taken place, the agreement between Activision and Blizzard/Microsoft should allow new projects to be launched with the American giant. Explanations.
The case is well known: Blizzard is currently working on several projects, such as the highly anticipated Overwatch 2 and Diablo IV. Despite their fame, there’s nothing really new under the sun: these are well-known licenses that (though?) don’t have much to prove anymore to have.
However, it’s like a breath of fresh air on the Irvine side. In fact, Blizzard has just revealed the development of a brand new project through its official Twitter account. See instead:
We are developing a survival game set in a whole new universe.
Half teasing, half recruitment
Fortunately, the official site tells us a little more about this mysterious project, because Blizzard is short of manpower and does not hesitate to bait the punt:
Blizzard embarks on a new quest. We embark on a journey to a whole new universe: a whole new survival game for PC and consoles. A place full of heroes yet to be met, stories yet to be told, and adventures yet to be experienced. A vast realm of possibilities waiting to be explored.
Every story needs a storyteller. And every world needs builders. What if it were you?
Blizzard has been creating universes for millions of players around the world for thirty years. It requires a diverse team of developers willing to speak up, listen, and be heard. This is our mission.

This announcement serves as recruitment, as Blizzard is officially asking its community to come and work for them. If you believe the first artwork, the title should be a mixture of fantasy and modern world, judging by the outfit of the two protagonists. How many secrets…
