Blizzard has recently announced job openings for individuals interested in working on a new open-world shooter game. The specifics of whether this new game will be set in an existing universe or a completely fresh concept remain unclear.
One of the positions available is for an Associate Design Director, Innovation – Unannounced Game. This role specifically mentions working on a project that has not yet been revealed, focusing on an open-world shooter game. Applicants are required to have experience working on successful AAA game development projects in the past.
Rumors have been circulating that Blizzard is attempting to create a new shooter game set in the StarCraft universe. However, it is not confirmed if this is the same project mentioned above or an entirely different endeavor.
Blizzard’s game projects do not always end up as commercially released products. At times, they may evolve into different games altogether. A prime example of this is the long-in-development online game project, Titan, which was eventually canceled after 7 years. Parts of its concept were later repurposed into the highly successful game, Overwatch.

Blizzard’s projects may undergo transformations before release, like the transition from Titan to Overwatch.
