Blizzard's most recent job listing has given an unusually candid insight into the publisher's next game.
From the posting - since deleted from the publisher's career hub - we now know that the studio's next project will be a mobile MMO RTS title - that's Massively Multiplayer Online Real Time Strategy game in long-hand.
