Breaking: Blizzard Unannounced Game is a MMO RTS Mobile Game

Blizzard Entertainment posted yesterday a brand-new job opening, and a shocking one at that, because it flat spills the beans on what the genre and type of game they are developing: MMO RTS.

That upon itself is shocking without a previous official statement from a interview, or GamesCom-like convetion announcement, or press release. The job opening itself is the announcement. But on top of that… let it sink in… MMO… RTS.

So basically, think of StarCraft II gone MMO. How does that even work? There are a few creative ways to do such a thing in Heroes of the Storm. The Lost Vikings is an example of how one player can control three different characters (one on each lane).

An MMO RTS also brings to memory StarCraft: Ghost. But that was a multiplayer FPS game. However, this is a mobile game. That complicates things quite a bit. How can you envision a MMO RTS in a mobile game? Source: Blizzard Careers
