Blizzard is developing a mobile MMO RTS that could be a WarCraft game

The mobile gaming market is undoubtedly a fruitful one, with many major developers like Nintendo and Ubisoft releasing games in an attempt to expand the reach of their respective brands. It is known that Blizzard is another major publisher that looks like it too will be joining the fray, but what exactly they are working on remains a mystery.

A previous job listing referenced a "passion for creating imagery synonymous with the Warcraft IP," and now a few more have popped up in regards to a mobile title. However, it's worth noting that it's not confirmed if the job postings are for the same game, but they do reveal that a game being worked on behind the scenes is an "MMO RTS" for mobile.

Here are snippets from the job listings:

It's entirely possible that Blizzard is indeed making two mobile games, though common sense would likely dictate that the company would want to test the waters of the market on one game first before fully committing to two. But stranger things have happened.

We'll hopefully soon learn what it is Blizzard is up to.
