Blizzard looks to be hiring for a StarCraft shooter

We all remember the tragedy that was StarCraft: Ghost, Blizzard's long-cancelled shooter. However, it would seem that the dream of a StarCraft shooter is still alive and well. 

Earlier this year, Jason Schreier revealed that former Far Cry lead, Dan Hay, had set up a team at Blizzard to experiment with new ideas for a StarCraft shooter. Now, Blizzard seems to have a plan in place and is actively hiring for the project.

Now, Blizzard has begun hiring for multiple job roles, calling for designers for an unannounced “open-world shooter game”. The job description does not directly name StarCraft, but given the news from earlier this year, it seems likely that this is for the StarCraft project.

Another candidate for this could have been Blizzard's survival game. However, that project was unfortunately cancelled around the time Microsoft acquired the company.

KitGuru Says: Fans have been wanting a StarCraft shooter for a long time, and as we are unlikely to see another high-budget RTS StarCraft game, moving the franchise into new genres is really the only way to keep it alive.
