The studio is looking for a &#8220;Lead Designer, Innovation&#8221; to run development on a &#8220;AAA open-world shooter&#8221; without a name.<\/p>\n<p>Right now, every Blizzard game except Hearthstone (made with Unity) were made with in-house engines, but this unnamed shooter will likely use Unreal Engine. The listing says the lead designer will need experience working with the popular engine for prototyping features.<\/p>\n<p>On top of that, the job also requires &#8220;15 years of professional experience in game design or a related discipline&#8221;, which tells me Blizzard wants someone who&#8217;s probably done this kind of work before, possibly even more than once. Given the amount of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/one-year-after-announcing-activision-blizzard-acquisition-microsoft-is-laying-off-10000-employees\/\">layoffs the studio endured<\/a> in the last few years, I&#8217;d imagine there are plenty of former Blizzard veterans out there who would fit the bill.<\/p>\n<p>On <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/jeffhamilton.bsky.social\/post\/3mihlcfduh22f\">Bluesky<\/a>, Blizzard game designer Jeff Hamilton says the &#8220;fairly unique design role&#8221; will be part of his team, but his post sadly provides no clues on what the project even is\u2014and neither does his LinkedIn page. My best guess is the new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/action\/blizzard-is-reportedly-incubating-a-starcraft-shooter-again-which-would-be-the-developer-s-3rd-attempt-at-the-accursed-concept\/\">Starcraft third-person shooter<\/a> mentioned in Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier&#8217;s 2024 book Play Nice: The Rise, Fall, and Future Of Blizzard Entertainment.<\/p>\n<p>Schreier&#8217;s reporting said Blizzard was &#8220;incubating&#8221; the project under the helm of former Far Cry producer Dan Hay. The book doesn&#8217;t mention a genre or even a timeframe for when it would be properly announced, but Blizzard <em>is <\/em>hosting a BlizzCon in September that could be where it&#8217;ll show up. Windows Central reporter Jez Corden corroborated Schreier&#8217;s reporting via his own sources in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.windowscentral.com\/gaming\/xbox\/xbox-in-2026-what-to-expect-from-team-green-this-year-and-beyond\">January<\/a>, too.<\/p>\n<p>Now before you get too excited, let&#8217;s remember that Blizzard also spent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/blizzard-survival-game-cancellation-news\/\">six years on a survival game<\/a> only to cancel it after a massive round of layoffs in 2024. It&#8217;s possible this game\u2014much like the infamous Starcraft: Ghost shooter that never was\u2014might not see the light of day, especially when the videogame industry layoffs haven&#8217;t really slowed down.<\/p>\n<p>However, the time is ripe for Starcraft to come back. The last game in the series was released 11 years ago (unless you count the Nova Covert Ops campaign that came out 10 years ago). An open-world shooter is a big leap from an RTS, but I imagine Starcraft fans will take anything at this point.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"99ce26c1-b93d-4744-b826-c74a02023cee\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:661px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:98.94%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"6offQUY4CXebir2TC27dMd\" name=\"kingdom come 2 square\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/blizzard-is-hiring-for-an-open-world-shooter-using-unreal-engine-which-is-more-evidence-that-a-new-starcraft-game-could-be-on-its-way.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"661\" height=\"654\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-pc-games-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"99ce26c1-b93d-4744-b826-c74a02023cee\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>2026 games<\/strong><\/a>: All the upcoming games<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Our all-time favorites<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Freebie fest<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-fps-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best FPS games<\/strong><\/a>: Finest gunplay<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: Grand adventures<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/gaming-industry\/blizzard-is-hiring-for-an-open-world-shooter-using-unreal-engine-which-is-more-evidence-that-a-new-starcraft-game-could-be-on-its-way\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to a recent job listing, Blizzard is cooking up a new game in an engine and a genre that none of its releases have used before.
