Ultima ora: Blizzard a lavoro su un Open-World RPG Shooter
RPG Shooter – Secondo quanto riferito da un nuovo annuncio pubblicato da Activision Blizzard, il noto publisher sarebbe a lavoro per lo sviluppo e la pubblicazione di un nuovo titolo Open-World.
La notizia relativa ad un nuovo importante progetto all’interno di Blizzard circola ormai da diversi mesi, anche se i numerosi problemi dovuti allo scandalo abusi sessuali e le conseguenti indagini aperte contro Blizz da parte degli organi statali (della California) e federali hanno certamente generato dei forti ritardi nella fase di sviluppo.
Il titolo in questione è ancora un “Unannounced Project“, un progetto quindi di cui ancora non si conosce il nome e di cui non si sa praticamente nulla. Una grande novità riguarda però il tipo di “skill”/”esperienza” richiesta per poter entrare a far parte del team Blizzard che se ne occuperà…
Secondo quanto riferito nell’annuncio di lavoro infatti, questo nuovo titolo sarebbe un Open-World RPG Shooter…sostanzialmente una via di mezzo tra World of Warcraft/New World e Call of Duty.
Al momento queste sono le uniche informazioni a nostra disposizione, ma non appena possibile pubblicheremo certamente nuovi e più approfonditi dettagli su tutta la questione.
Ecco di seguito il post relativo all’annuncio di lavoro:
