At the beginning of 2022, a brand new AAA game project was revealed in Blizzard's job posting, and this AAA level survival game in the new universe is recruiting. Now with the news of this survival game, as the code name for this new project, Blizzard has picked up the familiar word "odyssey" for players and has developed a playable model.
Blizzard Entertainment's survival game code-named "Odyssey" has been in development for nearly 5 years since 2017. But for a long time it was just in the creative stage, being placed in the desktop folder of project director Craig Amai. According to Windows Central, although the Odyssey is still in the early stages of development, there is already a playable model. Mike Ybarra, president of Blizzard Entertainment, has been playing with the development team for hours.
According to Blizzard Entertainment's previous recruitment information, this game will be a new cosmological setting and a new game IP for PC and console multi-platform. The officially released setting plan includes a world of modern architecture and bicycles, as well as a fantasy world with green fields and floating castles. Former World of Warcraft UI senior engineers who had been harshly critical of Blizzard's harassment issues were also excited about the Odyssey project.
