Blizzard revives StarCraft as an open-world shooter
Blizzard announced a new StarCraft game built as an open-world shooter, reviving an idea the company previously pursued with the cancelled StarCraft: Ghost. Reports from BlizzCon 2026 say the title is not expected until spring 2030. The RSS material provides no pricing, platform list or detailed account of the game's development schedule.
Why it matters
The project extends a major game franchise into a new format, but its distant release leaves substantial execution risk.
