Blizzard is working on a new game, it’s a survival game for PC and consoles.
This is according to a call to staff to help support the development team.
According to the company, the game will be set in an entirely new universe that will be “filled with heroes we have yet to meet,” “stories that have not yet been told,” and “adventures that have yet to travel.” That’s all the information posted.
The lack of information may be related to the fact that the project appears to be in the early stages of development, so the studio is hiring for five art positions, has two design vacancies, and is looking for four with software engineering experience.
If you are interested, you will be asked to apply here. Just imagine if you got a job, you would end up working for Microsoft too, because the company is buying Activision Blizzard for $68.7 billion, one of the biggest acquisitions in entertainment history.
Of course, you’ll also work for a developer that’s currently mired in sex discrimination and harassment allegations as part of a toxic workplace that’s sparked a lawsuit in California. Activision Blizzard has been cleaning up since then and has put in place plans to ensure it continues to develop its talent and recruiting systems to be more representative, with a new Workplace Responsibility Council created to “measure progress” And ensure accountability.” For many current and former employees, the company is doing too little too late, or not enough to address employee concerns. Many are still calling for the resignation of CEO Bobby Kotick, and some have even joined a union.
