Blizzard Reportedly Working On A StarCraft Shooter Game

Expert Verified By

Two StarCraft Shooter Games Have Already Been Canceled!

Story Highlight
  • An insider has revealed that Blizzard Entertainment is working on a StarCraft shooter game.
  • This aligns with what the Xbox boss stated about bringing back the IP if there’s an opportunity. 
  • Two different StarCraft shooter games have already been canceled by Blizzard over the years.

StarCraft was one of the most popular PC games back in the late 90s. First released in 1998, it was a real-time strategy game developed by Blizzard Entertainment. The last mainline StarCraft game was released in 2010, although some DLCs did launch after that. 

However, it seems that Blizzard is taking a different route with the IP and is in the early stages of working on a new StarCraft shooter game

Why it matters: The return of StarCraft has been heavily requested for a long time. After the cancelation of their ambitious survival game, Blizzard is finally returning to its old IP and delivering the fans what they want.

StarCraft is set to make a comeback as a shooter game by Blizzard Entertainment

Jason Schreier, speaking to IGN’s podcast, talked about his upcoming book and the future of Blizzard Entertainment. He revealed that most of the team was laid off after the cancelation of the survival game, and the ones left are working on the StarCraft shooter.

The title’s development is being led by Dan Hay, an Industry Veteran who previously worked on Ubisoft’s Far Cry franchise. Two StarCraft shooter games have already been canceled by Blizzard, so it’s difficult to assess the future of this one, too.

Starcraft Return Teased
The game has been heavily requested by the fans for a very long time

StarCraft’s revival was a long time coming. Even Xbox boss Phil Spencer teased the classic series’ return if the opportunity arises. Moreover, an insider recently also revealed that Blizzard is working on a AAA FPS game, hinting at the return. 

The potential that StarCraft brings to the table is huge. Especially now, with the success of shooting games like Space Marine 2, Blizzard should give the title a go. This also aligns with what the fans have longed for a very long time.
