The Blizzard survival game that was once set to establish "a whole new universe" has been canceled.
That comes from The Verge, which reports that the upcoming game has been abandoned as part of broader changes that will see 1,900 employees across Micosoft's gaming division lose their jobs. While some Xbox and ZeniMax staffers will be included in that, plenty will be affected at Activision Blizzard.
Initially revealed in January 2022, Blizzard said it was making a survival game for PC and console that would take place in a "whole new universe" – "a place full of heroes we have yet to meet, stories yet to be told, and adventures yet to be lived. A vast realm of possibility, waiting to be explored," as the developer described it.
One aim of the post was seemingly to drum up interest in working on the project, as the post contained nine job openings and mentioned Blizzard's need for a "diverse team of developers willing to lend their voices, to listen and to be heard."
