Last February, Activision Blizzard officially acquired Candy Crush creator King Digital Entertainment for $5.9 billion, which brought Blizzard a great many active users, as well as opened the door to the mobile game market. Not long ago, King revealed through their job listing that they are working on the new Call of Duty mobile game, to help Activision expand the mobile market. However, it seems that Blizzard can't wait for others to help them move into the mobile space any more, and decides to do it themselves.





A while back, NeoGAF's Nirolak disclosed a new Blizzard job posting that calls for a software engineer for its mobile initiative.









"Blizzard Entertainment is seeking a talented and enthusiastic software engineer to contribute to Blizzard's mobile gaming efforts. In this role, you will create tools that will empower our talented designers and artists. The ideal candidate will be self-directed, and have proficiency with developing powerful tools and content creation pipelines."





And interestingly enough, Nirolak mentioned something that was not declared in the job posting. He presumes that this unannounced project is separate from all the jobs about Diablo 4, and is not about an existing IP, but plausibly in a new IP. The position is in Blizzard's Incubation department, where they develop new projects, and is managed by the recently rehired co-founder Allen Adham, who was hired explicitly to tackle new projects.





Nirolak posits that Blizzard may be working on mobile games related to Overwatch or Starcraft. But that's only a guess.
