Two Blizzard job postings lead to talk of a new IP photo

Incgamers recently reported that Blizzard has two new job postings up which point in the direction of a new IP. Don't take my word for it though, read it yourself:

"Blizzard Entertainment is seeking an experienced gameplay engineer to focus on game rules systems for an unannounced title. This is your chance to get in on the ground floor of a dynamic and focused team working on a brand new project. Blizzard Entertainment offers a fun, creative, and technically challenging environment with excellent compensation and a full range of benefits."

Of course, we already heard word of this new project last year at the Blizzard Worldwide Invitational, but it's nice to see proof that the project is obviously going forward. I assume the project will probably be PC-based, but I can't help but fantasize about the idea of them considering something completely different from anything they've done before. What would you like to see them take on?

I would like to see a proper Lost Vikings sequel. No remake bullshit and keep it 2d.

Blizzard did not explore the FPS yet. (There is StarCraft Ghost but who knows what happened to that?)

If StarCraft can be considered WarCraft in space, I'd like to see Diablo in space.

They've said they're planning a new MMO. Tigole jumped ship from WoW to work on it. They haven't announced what it will be yet, so maybe this is a post for that game.

But it could be something entirely different.

I just hope it isn't a Starcraft FPS or a Warcraft point-n-click , I mean , these concepts sound so stupid !

Really?! A new IP?! Finally something new. How about a shooter? Driving game? A fighting game?

Blizzard has already confirmed on their forum that they are making a new IP and it will be for their next MMO.

What Voz said.

Also, they bought a console developer (a studio) at one point not too far in the past and I guess they've said they don't expect the new MMO to cannibalize the WoW user base -- leading to speculation that it is a console MMO.
