Will we be making our way back to the world of Diablo II and Warcraft III in HD very soon?
A new job posting for a “UI/UX Visual Designer” role at Classic Games in Irvine, California has included an interesting part.
“Classic Games is looking for a renaissance designer to harmonize that which was, with that which will be. Warcraft, StarCraft, and Diablo await your machinations. If you have the desire to rise to that challenge, we’d love to hear from you.”
This is following a previous posting for Blizzard for a “Lead Software Engineer, Engine” role. This one explicitly mentioned the following:
“Compelling stories. Intense multiplayer. Endless replayability. Qualities that made StarCraft, Warcraft III, and Diablo II the titans of their day. Evolving operating systems, hardware, and online services have made them more difficult to be experienced by their loyal followers or reaching a new generation.
“We’re restoring them to glory, and we need your engineering talents, your passion, and your ability to get tough jobs done.”
The posting’s ‘Responsibilities’ heading also included a part about “implementing, maintaining, and own infrastructure for the Diablo franchise”
Will you make the journey back to hell?
