I came across this incredible finding by searching through their job openings. There is currently one for a Software Engineer open which will work on development on an unnamed game. This is different from their announced TITAN MMO and WoW expansions and SC2 expansions, all of which have been announced already.
Recently Blizzard posted that they were looking for more engineers through their Facebook page and after going through their job openings, I came across the finding.
It is titled as follows:
Unannounced Game Title
!Senior Software Engineer
You can see it for yourself here:
http://us.blizzard.com/en-us/company/careers/directory.html#region=Americas;showonly=Programming
After further analysis of the job description I suspect that they will release a mobile game due to the following:
Blizzard Entertainment is seeking a highly self-motivated senior engineer with expertise in rapid software development. The Ideal candidate would be willing, and able to get their hands dirty in every aspect of game development, whether that means client engineering, building server technologies, or even small tools development. This person should be versatile, and enthusiastic about working on whatever parts of the project it takes to get the job done quickly but cleanly.
Responsibilities
Solve a variety of technical challenges on multiple devices, and operating systems.
Port existing technology to other devices and platforms.

Perhaps it's simply uncertain as to what game, or perhaps an unannounced addition to an announced game they will need a Software Engineer for at the moment. That being said, I'd be a little more conservative with the title.
If that's not the case, then I highly await the game's announcement, and hope that the game is not tainted by the Activision side of the company.Last edit: 2012-07-04 11:41:23 |

| "Unannounced" means the information pertaining to the game hasn't been made public. It could be a various set of games, WoW next expansion, SC2 2nd expansion, Titan, new warcraft rts, etc... |

The problem is that OP didn't specify that there's also a listing for "Next-Gen MMO"...
And although not 100% announced, it's been know/made aware that Blizzard is in the works with a new MMO codenamed Titan.
Assuming Titan is the "Next-Gen MMO" (which it may also be a WoW expansion, this is all speculation), the Unannounced could be a NEW game....
Although I highly doubt... Just based on their recent 7 years of development, nothing new has come up
EDIT: Also note, the "requirements" do not list a minimum number of years developing games, which may mean a newer series coming?
Again, highly doubt, but you never know with a company, especially one that's apparently being dropped from the ATVI corpLast edit: 2012-07-04 11:45:42 |

I was giving examples and since Legacy of the Void hasn't been confirmed/announced 100% for a release date it is still classified as a Unannounced Game Title which is under or is not under development at this time. |

| Could be a mobile game or just that it will have some mobile aspect to it. If the game has any applications related to it, like WoW has the remote auction house and armory stuff then the senior software engineer for the game should probably know something about mobile applications. They do say mobile games experience specifically, and not applications though so perhaps you're right. |

How do you know their next-gen MMO Titan isn't playable on mobile?
Given the mobile space as a whole, even just having supporting apps seems to be a big thing nowdays, so I'm not surprised. Could just be "support mobile game apps" like many other franchises already do. |

Next Generation MMO is TITAN which has been announced already.
It specifically says unannounced game. They are developing a new game apart from the ones we already know they are working on. |

Er mah gerd! You came across something that has been known for years! :D
Ok well maybe not "years" but definitely over 1 year. This unannounced project has been around for a while, it's just recently where they've actually started to hire new people to work on it.Last edit: 2012-07-04 12:28:52 |
