What could this new unannounced game be? Warcraft 4? A new Starcraft FPS? A Diablo RTS?
Only time will tell, but what do you think?

how in gods name did it look retarted?!?!?! I remember seeing previews for it in old mags back in those days and i was pumped for it!!!
I see a lot of pointless conjecture going on... Even though that's a lot of fun, it doesn't help answer many questions.
First off, lets take a look at the job openings title.
Right off the bat, it says "UNNANOUNCED", I know you may not directly agree, but this roots out Warcraft 4 and Starcraft Ghost. First off, Blizzard wouldnt mention anything about a game they are making currently, or have plans of making, like Warcraft 4, and, they DID mention Warcraft 4. So, you guys are getting your hopes up on thinking Warcraft 4 will be released exactly as you think it will be, simply because Blizzard never even so much as slips about what they're making, and their comment on War4 would've been the biggest slip ever.
As for Starcraft Ghost... Well, this is an UNNANOUNCED title. StarCraft Ghost is fulley and completely announced, and it was indefinitley postponed.
If thats not enough proof its not Starcraft Ghost or Warcraft 4, lets take a quick look at the actual job openings descriptions.
First, we have the "Software Engineer, Client", while the description of this opening is pretty generic, and doesn't give away much, it does tell us they need someone to help work on the graphics.
Secondly, we have the most important opening, "Software Engineer, Gameplay".
It says they "need someone to focus on game rules systems. If you take a look at other "Gameplay" oriented openings, none of them say "Games Rules Systems". That kind of makes you think of a board game (like a RTS), or, a complicated gaming system... Something an MMO wouldn't particularly need, or an FPS. However, an RTS could utilize a "Games Rules Systems" engineer. It's a lot of speculation, but I would bet it has nothing to do with Warcraft, StarCraft, or Diablo.
Edit: Lord of the Clans? Come on guys. Blizzard even stated they did NOT want that game released, and it was being developed by a foreign studio they gave the rights to and it didnt feel like a "Blizzard" game to them. It's not Lord of the Clans, adventure games are completely down the tubes in this age, regardless. You can't make a lot of money off a single player, 2-d, short adventure game.
FTW!!
If i try to imagine a new world or i dont know... Like Blizz have Diablo, Sc, Wc.... Something new? i think it will suck... hm?
Blizzard has already stated the Next-Gen MMO is -NOT- a current IP, meaning its not World of Starcraft.
exactly right. the MMO is most likely a new game entirely.
and for the other game, SC:Ghost has been scrapped. i read an IGN article about it a few months ago i believe, so i wouldn't place good money on that.
Warcraft 4 is a very good possibility though. That or something along the same lines at whatever the new Next-Gen MMO is going to be, just not in the MMO format.
Then again, it's rumored that SC2 is almost finished and approaching beta, meaning it's past alpha, meaning that the team may very well be shifting gears towards WC4...
I'd love to hear WC4.....
I'd love to see WC4, but a new franchise would be cool.
yea, very unlikely that blizzard will release a rpg, let alone a dark dark rpg game when Diablo 3 is around the corner.
But, anyways, I cannot find the link for the quote from one of Blizzard's employee's saying its not a current IP...
Did anyone else hear what I heard about the fact they said it wont be a current IP, or can anyone else find what I'm talking about? I know I'm not crazy.
That been said. I wouldn't care to see a WC4. But I think that right now is the best timing to be working on something entirely new. I would love to see a new universe but allso a new type of game. Ghost was an exemple of something new for Blizzard style and if it had been made by Blizzard, it would have rocked, but no company on Earth can do Blizz job... So yea, I would love to see something completly new. FPS in a new universe or something like that. Just to let Blizzard reshape a genre and make their new game a classic for the genre they chose
