The information that is already confirmed from the company itself is that one or more of its games will be focused on mobile phones, but what else is known?

In one of the offers that are looking for a Content designer, in the responsibilities it is said that you will have to design for open world, so it gives a very clear information that the project would be developing for open world content.

As they comment in gamecentric.coBlizzard already has franchises dedicated to RPGs like Diablo or World of Wacraft, and dedicated to FPS like Overwatch, but it seems that the game they are working on would combine both genres.

And on what platforms would these games be developed?

As we have already talked about in other articles, in addition, confirmed by several workers, Blizzard is currently working on at least one Warcraft game that would be focused on mobile.

Many of the job offers that came out at the same time indicated that it was for a mobile game but it is not yet known if all these projects are developed for this platform or are also being developed for others.
