Blizzard Entertainment is seeking an experienced XXX to work on a robust first-person engine for an unannounced project.

What do you think it could be? An entirely new first-person shooter or an Overwatch expansion? It would be cool to play Pet Battles on the go!

Mobile Lost Vikings

A way to pet battle on the move would be cool, and it would make sense since 7.2.5 introduces pet battle dungeons.

But, it could also be a major project that could be announced at Blizzcon.

Although mobile Lost Vikings would work well due to the nature of the mechanics in that game and how well it converted from PC to SNES in the classic era never neglect the fact that Blizzard also developed Primal Rage and that entire franchise has been ignored for far too long.

Rawr.

I am excited to see what they could put out.  I am worried though that mobile games tend to either be awesome or unplayable and I hope it ends up being awesome while secretly dreading that it will be terrible.

People neglect that fact because Blizzard neither developed nor published that game.
