Nowadays, it is easy for fans to spot when a new game is going to come out soon from development studios, and Blizzard is no exception. A new job listing suggests that they will be working on a new game which will have vehicles in it.

The job listing posted on the Blizzard careers page features a Senior Software Engineer. Majority of the description asks for the usual requirements for the position. However, the first paragraph shows a specific requirement they are looking for from applications.

"Blizzard Entertainment is looking for a talented gameplay engineer to help create vehicles and build vehicle handling features in a robust first-person engine for an unannounced project," reads the job description. "The ideal candidate has proven experience in vehicle handling, with exposure to other game systems like physics, animation, and cameras."

Although this does not say much about what this "unannounced project" is, speculations can already be made. With the emphasis on vehicles and its "handling features" with a "first-person engine," it might be a totally different game from what Blizzard usually makes.

Taking a look at Blizzard's games, there is no game that fits the description of what they are looking for. Although there are vehicles in a few games they have made, these do not have specific "handling features," let alone be in first-person. There have also been first-person games like shooter game "Overwatch," but these do not feature vehicles.

There is also the possibility that it will be an addition to a new game. The job description further reads that the candidate must be able to add and work with an established code framework.

It is highly unlikely that Blizzard will announce soon what this game is as the project is, of course, still in its early stages. However, given several months, they may just give out a teaser by the time BlizzCon arrives in November of next year, as per Comicbook.com.
