That \u201cnext chapter\u201d is a survival game set in an all-new universe and if the art posted with it is any indication, it\u2019s definitely set in a fantasy world. While it\u2019s clearly not a World of Warcraft-related game (since it\u2019s in a new universe and not an existing one), it definitely feels at home for\u00a0the developer of those games.\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tw-align-center twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\" xml:lang=\"en\">We\u2019re building a survival game in an all-new universe.<\/p>\n<p>Join us in writing our next chapter: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/yf7W5p9ERQ\">https:\/\/t.co\/yf7W5p9ERQ<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/vWtkDYh1kX\">pic.twitter.com\/vWtkDYh1kX<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Blizzard Entertainment (@Blizzard_Ent) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Blizzard_Ent\/status\/1486038723468795906?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 25, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cBlizzard is embarking on our next quest,\u201d the job posting reads. \u201cWe are going on a journey to a whole new universe, home to a brand-new survival game for PC and console. A place full of heroes we have yet to meet, stories yet to be told, and adventures yet to be lived. A vast realm of possibility, waiting to be explored. Every story needs a teller. And every world needs builders. What if that could be you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The job listing continues, asking, \u201cdo you like survival games? Do you want to join a collaborative team of experienced developers at the early stage of a new project in a new world\u2026and help write the next chapter in Blizzard\u2019s story?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As for roles open, there\u2019s Environment Artist (Associate to Senior), Senior Character Artist, Technical Artist (FX Pipeline), VFX Artist (Associate to Senior), and Senior Concept Artist on the art side of things. In design, there\u2019s Associate Level Designer and Level Designer, and in engineering, there\u2019s Lead Software Engineer (Engine), Senior Software Engineer (Audio), Senior Software Engineer (Server), and Senior Software Engineer (Tools).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>One interesting thing that many have already noted is that Blizzard is calling this an \u201cunannounced\u201d game\u2026in its announcement of it. Sure, we don\u2019t have a name for it yet, but with two looks at what appear to be concept art and word of it being a survival game in a new universe, it doesn\u2019t really feel too \u201cunannounced.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>What do you hope to see from this game?
