微軟公司（納斯達克：MSFT）的動視暴雪已透露了一個即將推出的項目的重要線索，這個項目可能會重新定義《星際爭霸》系列的未來。
According to IGN, a job listing posted on Nov. 13 reveals Blizzard is seeking an "associate design director, innovation," for an "upcoming open-world shooter game," and all signs point to this being the long-anticipated StarCraft FPS.
根據IGN的報道，11月13日發佈的職位列表顯示，動視暴雪正在尋找一名"創新副設計總監"，用於即將推出的"開放世界射擊遊戲"，所有跡象都指向這是期待已久的《星際爭霸》第一人稱射擊遊戲。
The job ad promises that the chosen candidate will "be the vision holder and owner of key strategic innovations" for the project, with focus on both indie and AAA developments.
招聘廣告承諾，獲選候選人將成爲項目的"願景持有者和關鍵戰略創新的負責人"，並專注於獨立遊戲和AAA開發。
Blizzard is looking for a candidate who is not only capable of overseeing innovative game mechanics but also someone who can transform "dreams into reality that players can get their hands on and enjoy."
動視暴雪正在尋找一位不僅能夠監督創新遊戲機制的候選人，還希望找到一位能夠將"夢想變爲玩家可以接觸和享受的現實"的人。
A StarCraft FPS In Development?
正在開發的《星際爭霸》第一人稱射擊遊戲？
The job listing comes on the heels of reports earlier this year that Blizzard was actively working on a StarCraft first-person shooter.
這份職位列表是在早些時候報道動視暴雪積極開發《星際爭霸》第一人稱射擊遊戲之後發佈的。
These reports traced back to a September revelation by Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier during an appearance on IGN's Podcast Unlocked. Schreier, who is no stranger to inside knowledge at Blizzard, shared that the company was attempting a third shot at creating a StarCraft shooter, with former Far Cry executive producer Dan Hay leading the charge.
這些報道可以追溯到彭博社記者傑森·施雷爾在IGN的Podcast Unlocked上透露的消息。施雷爾對動視暴雪的內部情況並不陌生，他分享說，該公司正在嘗試第三次創造《星際爭霸》射擊遊戲，前《孤島驚魂》執行製片人丹·海伊負責領導這一項目。
"I have heard that they are working on a StarCraft shooter," Schreier said at the time. "StarCraft is not dead at Blizzard."
"我聽說他們正在開發一個《星際爭霸》射擊遊戲，"施雷爾當時表示。"《星際爭霸》在動視暴雪並沒有死。"
However, the journalist also noted that Blizzard's history with StarCraft shooters has been anything but smooth. This has been a long-running saga, marked by the company's failed attempts to expand the franchise beyond its real-time strategy roots.
然而，記者也指出，暴雪在《星際爭霸》射擊遊戲上的歷史並不順利。這是一個長期的傳奇，標誌着公司在將這一系列擴展到其實時策略根源之外的失敗嘗試。
