StarCraft Is Coming Back in 2030 as an Open-World Shooter
Blizzard is bringing StarCraft back, and not in the way anyone expected. The studio has announced that the StarCraft universe will return as an open-world shooter, scheduled for 2030. The project is a significant departure from the franchise's roots as a real-time strategy game, and it has a genuinely interesting backstory that goes all the way back to 2002.
Key Takeaways
- Blizzard has announced a StarCraft open-world shooter scheduled for release in 2030
- This is Blizzard's second attempt to bring StarCraft into the shooter genre, after StarCraft: Ghost was cancelled in 2006
- StarCraft II's last major expansion, Legacy of the Void, launched in 2015
