Alm♊ost 15 years since the series' last totally new game, some form of StarCraft revival could apparently be in the pipeline as it's reported that four companies are in competition to secure the rights to work on new games in the series.

A machine-translated (which has also been 🅰shared and partially translated by South Korean news account ) claims that Nexon, Krafton, Netmarble, and NCSoft are all competing to try and secure global publishing rights for StarCraft, with some apparently having travelled to visit Blizzard in person with their pitches.

Furthermore, it's reported that each company is suggesting different things for the series, with Netmarble apparently proposing the idea of bringing the franchise to mobile platforms in some way, Kra𓄧fton reportedly wanting to develop a new game, and Nexon putting forward some sort of unique idea to use the IP. The report also appears to suggest that NCSoft could develop an RPG of some sort.

It should go without saying, but this should definitely be taken with a pinch of salt while it remains unconfirmed. Just last year, Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier claimed that at the time of him writing his book about Blizzard (titled Play Nice), a new . Hype levels grew when, not long after this comment, a job advert confirmed that Blizzard was working on an unannounced "upcoming open-world shooter game."

Hopefully, whatever is reportedly going 🧸on behind the scenes at Blizzard today ultimately leads to something new – even the seri🍃es' latest release, the remaster of the first game, will be eight years old this August.

StarCraft 2 veteran would want a sequel to go open world, or just "try something radically new."
