To say that the Diablo franchise is important to Blizzard is a severe understatement, so it should come as no surprise that the company is moving forward with the series in some way, shape or form following the huge success of Diablo 3 and it expansion, Reaper of Souls. Whether it will be a new expansion or Diablo 4, however, remains to be seen.

In a new posting found on the Blizzard job's page, the company is looking for a game director the lead the franchise. The previous game director for the franchise was Jay Wilson, who announced early last month that he was leaving the company to pursue his love of writing. Wilson had stepped aside from the series in 2013 to do other work within the company, and Joshua Mosqueira took over the franchise for Reaper of Souls and the subsequent patches. It is not clear if Mosquiera is moving on to a new project or how the transition would be handled.

Game director is not the only position Blizzard is hiring for to staff the unannounced project. In addition to the art director position they advertised for late last year, they are currently looking for a senior animator,  senior charcter and concept artists, and a senior VFX artist to satff their main office in Irvine, CA.
