Blizzard Hiring For New Overwatch Project?
Blizzard has posted a job listing for a "generalist artist intern" with "knowledge and understanding of the Overwatch universe," for what the company is currently referring to as an unannounced project.
The internship focuses on creating assets such as props, weapons, and possibly characters.
The listing specifically cites that the position is for an unannounced project, and the specific mention of Overwatch knowledge seems to logically tilt expectations toward the popular shooter.

Our Take
I think that if we were to hear about a big new expansion or game for Overwatch, it wouldn't be via a posting for an intern to work on props and other relatively low-level matters. Blizzard is always working on "content" for the game, whether it's new characters, levels, or crates, and this is a far cry from something much bigger for the franchise. Still, it's interesting that the company is referring to this specifically as an unannounced project.
