problem is we are living in a era where even our dogs play fucking fortnite or moba games and only rpg or fps type can survive well nowaday thats why to keep a franchise stay relevant,making a well known genre like shooting or rpg is a must
i believe blizz did forseen this long ago and thus wow and sc ghost were a thing but it seems they are yet to figure out an escape way for sc IP

OW2? Seems like a weird choice. I can't quite see what they plan to do with that which they can't implement into the already existing game. I hope it doesn't end up feeling like just a slightly large patch for OW1.

Last I checked, Sc2 did pretty well sales and reception wise. SC3 would be a pretty good move forward for the Starcraft franchise imo..

Gaming seems to be in a pretty wonky state where publishers seem to have set the bar of success at the WoW/CoD/Fortnite levels of numbers and won’t take any kind of risk on things that can’t hit those really atypical and inflated heights.

Especially if something is either divergent from current trends, or lacks an obvious way to monetise it post-sale, or worse, both.

Blizzard aren’t exactly reticent in axing projects, but they do usually trot out the ‘it wasn’t up to brand quality’ line, it I suppose they have done that though with projects that were announced and even showcased like Ghost.

I would rather have cancelled overwatch 2, like who needs another overwatch ? The game isn't really old.

I would have bought a SC2 FPS, but definitly not overwatch 2.

I have played many many years ago the Command and Conquer FPS, and let me say it was average at most. Don't think we miss much with this.
Why so serious?

Yeah! SC universe, but with a Company of Heroes-like grittiness. Mud, dust, smoke, debris. More small skirmishes. I'd love that

For my money StarCraft is synonymous with the RTS genre. I'm glad the franchise isn't getting diluted.

if we have learned one thing in can only become worse..

when you have a masterpiece like starcraft broodwar any new addition feels underwhelming & flawed
new does not mean better is so often what you come across in life.

FPS isn't something I want from SC, but it could have been good. Unfortunately shooters are on focus by big studios. Converting RTS universe to shooter sounds hard. Also fans probably wouldn't like it. Maybe, if FPS was announced shortly after recent release of an expansion and not after over 3 years from the last expansion. If it had been announced now it would have looked like the RTS side of SC wouldn't be the main game of franchise in future. Something like Rimworld, Stellaris or Gothic Armada would probably be better received. Bit worrying that they even though about making FPS for SC currently.

The good news is that at least Diablo 4 should be on its way, OW2 can be good for OW but they should not depend on it too much. I think older fans want games for older franchises. Maybe remastering and reforging is just so that they can offer us something, while they make the new engine for future games, but then again why would they have been making FPS for SC.

An FPS from a zerg's perspective sounds interesting. But at the same time I don't think there will be anybody too upset that a Starcraft FPS got cancelled. And it never ceases to amuse me that sites like Kotaku still use the pictures from WoL alpha that they got permission to use from Blizzard way back when.


Of course I'm upset! How can anybody not be upset? A Starship Troopers kinda FPS? Count me in!

OW2 will probably go along the lines of Destiny, Division and Anthem I guess. Some singleplayer to warm you up with the "endgame" beeing PvP heavy

so do total war games tho.sc3 would be fine because they still have us but no company dislike muneh u know,making a spin off game to expand the fanbase like WoW alongside with sc3 aint seem to be a bad choice

from what i've heard, this isn't really "overwatch 2" as in a game designed to replace the original, it's more of a side project focusing on story/PvE stuff - i've heard left 4 dead comparisons being thrown around.

Just want to say that this project was being headed up by Dustin Browder, and between this and Heroes of the Storm and arguably the foundational design vision of SC2 (further discussion about that is happening in the Starcraft II - A Lifecycle thread), seems to be a tough streak for DBro


That's not fair to DB. Heroes of the storm is a fun game, could definitely have been a blizzard brawler type of game.

The *foundation* of SC2 is fantastic, but it was marred by forcing it in a direction it wasn't designed to go. The whole idea in WoL was small maps, low eco, high action, and it did that pretty well. That's just not what the community wnated.

Just enjoy SC2 for now and wait for about 3-4 more years. This is going to be the moment of the revival of RTS genre in general. Hell, it will be about fucking time for SC3 too! Can't wait :v

My thoughts exactly. Unless they go for a complete overhaul, which is very risky considering the huge success Overwatch had. OW2 feels way too soon right now. OW1 might have its flaws, but the playerbase still is huge and will remain that way for at least 4 to 5 years.
Given the fact that Blizzard always takes its time, an OW2 release for 2025 sounds kinda realistic.
Maybe D4 will come around 2022/23.
first we make expand, then we defense it.
