Blizzard appears to be readying a new StarCraft shooter, with whispers suggesting a reveal could take place at this year’s BlizzCon in September. This isn’t entirely surprising given the long-standing curiosity around a StarCraft shooter project, a notion first brought to light by Jason Schreier in his recent book Play Nice: The Rise, Fall, and Future of Blizzard Entertainment.
The project seems to carry some echoes of StarCraft: Ghost, Blizzard’s long-abandoned attempt at turning the RTS universe into a third-person shooter. While details remain scarce, the idea of Blizzard returning to StarCraft with a shooter feels like a natural evolution for a franchise that has defined competitive strategy for decades.
If this new game does take center stage at BlizzCon, it could mark an exciting direction for the company, blending its RTS roots with the action-focused gameplay fans have been eager to see. For now, we’ll have to wait until September to see how Blizzard plans to shake up the StarCraft universe once again.
