New FPS Game

Thanks to the job vacancies that have been released by Blizzard in December 2021 on its official website, regarding the needs of game gameplay developers for the manufacture of vehicles on FPS game engines, predictions by many people regarding the existence of a new FPS game that will be made by Bllizzard have become increasingly solid. The emergence of this prediction itself is based on a statement issued by Blizzard in August 2021 in Activision’s second quarter 2021.

In August 2021, Mike Morhaime, CEO of Blizzard, issued a statement stating that Blizzard is currently developing a new game, including the use of a new IP. This vacancy in December 2021 further confirmed the suspicion of a new FPS game. Allegations of a new FPS game came out along with allegations of other games that were part of Blizzard’s secret project. Based on the statement by Mike Morhaime as CEO of Blizzard, in addition to the new FPS game, the new Diablo, and also the new smartphone game are also predictions regarding Blizzard’s secret project.

New Overwatch Mode

Currently, the FPS game Overwatch is still one of the mainstays of Blizzard after its release in 2021 on the Playstation 4, Xbox One and computer console platforms. This FPS game is much liked by console gamers and computer gamers because of the unique gameplay in it and also the competitive nature of this game that Blizzard is able to release thanks to its proven expertise and game development experience over the years.

Being a mainstay of Blizzard and being popular, gamers who love this game are always waiting for Overwatch updates. Therefore, it is not surprising that the job vacancies released by Blizzard are associated with the FPS game Overwatch. The job vacancies in question are related to the need for gameplay game developers who are able to build vehicles and develop them in FPS game engines on projects that have not been announced.

Although not specifically mentioning the project being worked on, because of the mention of development on the FPS game engine, the name FPS game Overwatch came to the fore. The vehicles that will be created and connected in FPS are not expected by many to be an expansion of Overwatch. However, becoming a new game mode from Overwatch.

This prediction is indeed wild and looks just a match, but nothing is impossible. The reason is the tradition that has existed in the Overwatch game so far, which shows many new surprises.

I don’t know which will happen, Blizzard prepares an FPS Game or a new Overwatch mode? What is clear, the proof of the two must wait for an official announcement from Blizzard first, after the company gets a vehicle maker gameplay developer for the FPS game engine.
