Blizzard is looking for new staff
During a StarCraft event held in Seoul, Korea, back in March this year, Blizzard’s president publicly announced that their going to launch a remaster of the original StarCraft somewhen mid-2017. On top of that the remaster should be free to download. It looks like Blizzard is not only remastering the original StarCraft. Two new Job openings suggest that maybe Warcraft 3 and Diablo 2 could undergo a major overhaul as well.
On their career’s page Blizzard is looking for a senior software engineer, server as well as an UI/UX visual designer. Reading through the job description there are many hints Blizzard wants to refurbish their old yet very successful titles.

Since I used to play Diablo II as well as Warcraft 3 back in the days, while still enjoying a round of “Tower Defense” together with some good fans, I’d be more than just looking forward Blizzard remastering those to titles. Although those games are old their concept, story and gameplay is just great. Some might think why Blizzard can’t come up with something new, well to that I’d add that those old games in a new package are going to be better than most of the games any game developer could come up with.

Senior Software Engineer, Server
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.
UI/UX Visual Designer
Do you understand that experiences outside gameplay are as integral as those within? Would you like to be part of blurring the lines of where the game ends? Can you crawl inside players’ heads – without lobotomizing them – and emerge with clear direction? Do you believe aesthetics are as important as flow?
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.
