The announcement of Hay’s role was made in a recent blog post on Blizzard’s official website. Hay was listed among several other change-ups being made to the company’s various teams. While the game does not have a title just yet, it seems that development is starting to ramp up; in addition to the hiring of Hay, Blizzard says that it has significantly increased the number of developers on the game.
“Dan Hay, General Manager of Survival Game: Leading the team which isinfusing this genre with Blizzard magic while crafting our first new IPsince Overwatch. The team has doubled in size this year and we’relooking to grow it even more in the new year,” Blizzard’s blog post reads.
It remains to be seen just how similar this survival game will be to Ubisoft’s Far Cry franchise, and how it will manage to differentiate itself. Launching a brand-new IP can be a pretty difficult task in the video game industry, but these moves suggest Blizzard already has a lot of faith in the project. Unfortunately, the game doesn’t even have a title yet, which means we could be waiting a long time for more information. For now, Far Cry fans and fans of Blizzard will just have to wait patiently to learn more!
