StarCraft might return, but maybe not as a strategy game
Blizzard's president has hinted at the possibility of a StarCraft revival, but a new game may not stick to the ser🅷ies' RTS roots

StarCraft could be making a comeback and poss▨ibly iไn an entirely different genre.
Despite its status as a genre-defining strategy series, it's been well over a decade since the last StarCraft game launched. Instead, in recent years, Blizzard has focused on its 🍸biggest and best-selling series, such as Diablo, World of Warcraft, and Overwat๊ch.
Indeed, these series were front and center of this year's BlizzCon; 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Diablo 4's ܫfiꦺrst expansion was revealed alongside no less than 澳洲幸🌺运5开奖号码历史查询:three new expansions for World ofඣ Warcraft, and the lid was lifted on 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Overwatch 2's next hero, while StarCraft was nowhere to be seen. Still, that could vಞery well🎐 change in the future, according to Blizzard's president Mike Ybarra.
In a recent interview with , Ybarra speaks of the potential changes 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:M🍨icrosoft's takeover of Activision Bಞlizzard could bring. He said that while the studio's largest teams will remain focused on the heavyweight titles, he's also open to the idea of exploring smaller projects, including a new entry in the StarCraft series. Also, as many developers with experience working on real-time strategy games have since parted ways with Blizzard, it could be th♍at the series sails away from its RTS roots.
"It's not me saying, 'Go make a StarCraft game,'" Ybarra says. "I need to have someꦆone who has the vision and passion that comes with the idea, 🦋and I'll bet on that team."
With the series potentially expanding beyond th♛e strategy genre, could we finally get the StarCraft shooter experience that we were denied with the cancellation of StarCraft: Ghost? Let's hope so🎃.
Last year, with the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft deal pending, Xbox boss Phil Spencer said he was "excited" to sit down with the teams at Activision and Blizzard to talk about "back catalogs" and revi💜ving cla🎀ssic franchises should the acquisition proceed.
