Blizzard Entertainment, the same company that brought us World of Warcraft (WoW) and currently forging StarCraft 2/StarCraft MMO, has plans to invade the mobile arena. Over at the company's "Employment Opportunities" page, several job postings have been added with some related to making mobile games.

First is the Mobile Producer position. Blizzard noted that it needs an individual "with outstanding communication abilities to manage the process of bringing Blizzard-IP-related functions into the mobile space."

It also seems that it's making sure that this venture is going to be successful because, as the job posting reads, "experience working within the mobile development space is mandatory."

There's also a position for a Lead Mobile Software Designer and one of the required skills is a good understanding of web-related technologies, MIDP and CLDC development on the J2ME platform, WAP, and WML. Lastly, Blizzard is also in need of a Lead Mobile UI Designer who can "formulate the strategic design goals of Blizzard's mobile efforts."

This, when finally in full swing, will definitely rock the mobile industry. We'd like to see if the impact is going to be as massive as that of WoW to the MMORPG genre.
