These descriptions indicate that this new survival game also features heavy inspiration from the MMO sector of Blizzard Entertainment. Blizzard has recently gone on a hiring spree for this new survival game. This indicates they have been serious about it for a long long time. The game is rumored to currently be in a somewhat playable state. They have listed several jobs open for application via a website for this unannounced game too.

At this point, other than it being a survival game we don’t have any solid information. The game intends to be an AAA game with the inclusion of MMO features as we have seen. Blizzard is no stranger to MMO games as they made the highly popular World of Warcraft. So, it will be interesting to see what they have been cooking for the past five years.
We might see an announcement regarding this game sooner or later. Microsoft has recently acquired the parent company of Blizzard, so this game might be a PC and Xbox exclusive. But this is all just speculation at this point.
