The company Blizzard, known in the gaming world for its strategy genre, has something interesting planned. At least, that’s what fans think after noticing an intriguing job vacancy on the developer’s website. The surprise is not in the announcement itself but in the list of requirements for the applicant.
Blizzard knows how to intrigue fans
The team is interested in an engineer-programmer who can work with first-person 3D objects. The list of requirements for the candidate is curious – working with polygons, knowledge of linear algebra and geometry, proficiency in C++, managing physics, animation, and cameras. Such a set of skills suggests that Blizzard has decided to shift from strategy games to shooters.
Fans of legendary games like StarCraft, WarCraft, and Diablo have started discussing the news in the media. The first assumption is a remake of StarCraft, which might face a fate similar to Battlefield. Forum and social media users insist that Blizzard loves creating masterpieces, so a completely new game on their own engine is not out of the question. Otherwise, it’s unclear why an engineer-programmer would need knowledge of trigonometry and algebra.
