Blizzard is embarking on our next quest. We are going on a journey to a whole new universe, home to a brand-new survival game for PC and console. A place full of heroes we have yet to meet, stories yet to be told, and adventures yet to be lived. A vast realm of possibility, waiting to be explored.
Every story needs a teller. And every world needs builders. What if that could be you?
For thirty years, Blizzard has been creating universes for millions of players around the globe. This requires a diverse team of developers willing to lend their voices, to listen and to be heard. That is our mission.
Do you like survival games? Do you want to join a collaborative team of experienced developers at the early stage of a new project in a new world…and help write the next chapter in Blizzard’s story?
This is your call to adventure. Will you answer it?

Apparently, the game is quite an experience, as Blizzard’s Mike Ybarra has mentioned that he’s incredibly excited with the team’s vision after playing “many hours” of this unannounced Blizzard survival game.
I’ve played many hours of this project with the team and I’m incredibly excited about the teams vision and the brand-new world it presents for players to immerse themselves in together. Join us to help make it a reality! https://t.co/pLhijX2Li9

Even veteran games media reporter Jason Schreier has shared that for what it’s worth (FWIW), even disgruntled Blizzard employees were raving about the game, too.

Hopefully, we’ll know more about the game soon. That said, given we don’t even have firm release dates for Diablo 4 and Overwatch 2 (and how both games got delayed), I wouldn’t count on this game being released anytime soon.
