Blizzard's New Survival Game Could Be Called "Odyssey", Has "Cartoony" Graphics
Blizzard's unannounced survival game is apparently called Odyssey, and will sport "cartoony", Overwatch-inspired graphics. That's at least according to Windows Centrals' Jez Corden, who shared what he knows about the project on his podcast.
On The Xbox Two podcast, Corden gives us some more information on the survival game that was inadvertently revealed in a job listing the other day.

He also suspects it will run well on the Xbox Series S, saying that it doesn't look like a graphically advanced game, opting for a stylised appearance rather than something hyper-realistic.

It would also be a less controversial exclusive than the likes of Call of Duty and Diablo, which already have huge, dedicated player bases.
Right now, much of this new project is unknown. We only found out about it earlier this week, when a job listing at Activision Blizzard mentioned an "unannounced survival game".
