StarCraft Nexon

Remember back in February when we reported that Nexon was currently working on a StarCraft shooter? The news came from a Korean outlet but was not officially confirmed. Trotzdem, we know that Nexon and Blizzard have a working relationshipsomething we’ve cemented with the recent news that the company will begin publishing Overwatch in Korea sometime this year.

We also know (via a post on Massively), that Blizzard is currently hiring for anunannounced gamethat also happens to be an open-world shooter. Speziell, they are now looking for someone to fill the “Lead Designer, Innovation” position on the team for this game. The job posting asks for experience in “shipped AAA fighting titles.”

Jedoch, the first reports about this possible StarCraft shooter said that Nexon was putting the team together because they had acquired the rights to develop games using the IP. So it’s interesting that Blizzard is looking for someone. It appears that they will be working closely together on this project. This makes sense, as screwing up a StarCraft shooter wouldn’t exactly be ideal.
