Blizzard Is Reportedly Trying To Make A StarCraft Shooter, Again
StarCraft has largely been dormant since Blizzard stopped updating StarCraft II in 2020 to focus on the future of the franchise. But now, there's a report that Blizzard is taking another stab at making a StarCraft shooter after two previous attempts failed.
Jason Schreier, who wrote the upcoming book, Play Nice: The Rise, Fall, and Future of Blizzard Entertainment, appeared on IGN's Unlocked podcast where he revealed that the remnants of the team behind Blizzard's canceled survival game are "incubating" a StarCraft shooter. Additionally, the project is reportedly being overseen by Dan Hay, who is a veteran developer with experience on Ubisoft's Far Cry games.
Although StarCraft has a rich mythology that is ripe with storytelling potential, Blizzard hasn't been able to fully translate that into a shooter yet. The first attempt, StarCraft: Ghost, started development in 2001 and it languished in development for years before Blizzard finally pulled the plug. A second shooter, StarCraft: Ares, was reportedly canceled in 2019.
