The dream of a new StarCraft FPS game lives as Blizzard hires for “an upcoming AAA open-world shooter”

Blizzard just posted a job listing that has the community buzzing, and honestly, the timing couldn’t be better. They’re looking for people to work on “an upcoming AAA open-world shooter,” which immediately has everyone thinking about that canceled StarCraft FPS (Ares) that we lost years ago. Could this be the spiritual successor we’ve been waiting for?
The listing doesn’t confirm anything StarCraft related, but the dream is alive. Blizzard has been on a bit of a redemption arc lately, and bringing back a shooter into their portfolio would be a massive statement. We’ve seen what they can do with Overwatch, so an open-world shooter with that Blizzard polish could be something special.
For now, it’s all speculation, but this is one to keep an eye on. If you’re a shooter fan or still mourning what could have been with StarCraft Ares, this job posting is at least a glimmer of hope that Blizzard hasn’t forgotten about the FPS space.
