Blizzard may be developing an unannounced first-person shooter role-playing game
According to the latest news, shooting game giant Blizzard Entertainment is developing a new free-to-play first-person shooter. The game will be a brand new IP, rather than the PvE mode cancelled in the Overwatch sequel or predecessor.
Although no official details have been announced yet, the new game is rumored to be a team-oriented hero shooter, similar to the Overwatch and Call of Duty series. It is rumored that it will feature different hero characters, each with unique skills and abilities. In addition, the game is also said to offer multiple game modes, including team deathmatch and occupation points.
It is worth noting that Blizzard has fired all members of the Overwatch 2 PvE team. This suggests that this new game is most likely not a revival of Overwatch's PvE mode. Instead, it is likely to be a whole new shooter experience.
So far, Blizzard has not released any actual gameplay footage or trailers for the new game. However, there are rumors that the game will be officially announced later this year.
The new game is a big move for Blizzard, as it marks the company's first foray into the free-to-play shooter market. With the success of Overwatch, Blizzard clearly hopes to gain a bigger foothold in the genre with this new game.
The game is expected to be released in the second half of 2023. Once released, it will compete with Fortnite, Apex Heroes and other popular free-to-play shooters.
