Blizzard is hiring for upcoming next-gen MMO

Blizzard is hiring for upcoming next-gen MMO

Germany — 

Blizzard Entertainment is hiring again. Several job opportunities have been announced on the company's website.

Among them are jobs for a Lead 3D Character Artist and a Lead 3D Environment Artist, both for a 'Next-Gen MMO' as the website calls it.

The current number of open jobs for the new project, marked with a 'Top Secret' label, totals to 10.

Are we seeing the hiring process of a StarCraft or Diablo MMO? Only time will tell ...

What do you think the new project is about? And what would you like to see?

Interesting! I'd bet on a MMO of an existing brand.

It will definitively a StarCraft one or a new franchise. Blizzard did not bring something new for a long time and they know it.

Well a "Next-Gen MMO" ... could be anything. They could also mean to hire new guys for coming World of Warcraft - doesn't actually have to be a new one.
But a "Universe of StarCraft" would really be nice although a Zerg faction would be out of the question for that - the only races playable through this would be the Protoss and the Terrans .... who cares :-)

Lead 3D Environment Artist

Blizzard Entertainment, the developer of Diablo and Diablo II, is looking for a lead 3D

Sounds very interesting. Diablo 3, maybe?

That doesn't have to mean anything but simple advertising of the firm.
