https://www.ign.com/articles/blizzard-reportedly-working-on-a-starcraft-shooter-with-ex-far-cry-chief-dan-hay-at-the-helm

According to games journalist Jason Schreier, Blizzard is working on a shooter in the StarCraft setting. Making an appearance on IGN's Unlocked podcast to promote his upcoming book on the history of Blizzard, Schreier said of the shooter "If it's not cancelled—that's a strong—this is Blizzard, after all. And their history with StarCraft shooters is not good. Yes, [the StarCraft shooter] is the project that, as far as I knew, was in development, or at least as of the time that I wrote this book, was in development. Which is, yes, they are working on a StarCraft shooter. StarCraft is not dead at Blizzard."

Let's hope this is actually good, also that it doesn't end up being another SC: Ghost indeed.

Heh, I believe that when it's here. While nice that Nova got a role in the DLC there was some fun potential for a mid 00s stealth shooter ala Splinter Cell. Who can say wtf it will be now.

I can't say I'm particularly hopefull that anything will come out of this, but if there really is a game I'll welcome it with open arms.

Are we sure that this is about a post-Ares shooter? The Battlefield-style SC shooter was only completely cancelled a couple years ago.
Playing since summer of 1998.

I think I've read somewhere that this specifically means a shooter post SC: Ghost and Ares

What the, i didn't hear about this ares shooter either

Either way, surprising but i guess if Blizzard is trying to make revenue then shooters seem like a safe genre...

Curious what direction the gameplay will lean towards. Battlefield, Halo, or something more like Fortnite/Apex, etc.

And will it just be Terrans I'm guessing?

Man, I'd love it if this comes to fruition. Unlike with SC Ghost, Blizzard has actual shooter experience now. Also I don't think Ghost was being developed in-house if I remember correctly?

Anyways, the hopium is real.

Yeah Ghost was a Swingin Ape Studios project, it wasn't in-house at Blizzard. Personally I thought the Ghost shooting feel was pretty good and the multiplayer was fun, but reportedly it was canceled because the single player component was thin and boring. Modern shooters are also an extremely mature genre at this point, so they have big shoes to fill.

Am I the only one who never found SC Ghost particularly compelling as a concept even if it *had* come out?

Like if this is real it's potentially interesting...but I am...unconvinced, which is to say nothing if the fact this likely means nothing and will likely continue to mean nothing.

I am content if it is just a straight up copy of Helldivers, that's what a SC shooter should have been something like that or Space Marine

That said, I am not buying anything Blizzard until they fix WarCraft 3. To get me back, they need to do an unprofitable passion project and come back successful fixing WarCraft 3 before I bother with their other products

Grubby Looks good to me. How is it not playable?


The community put a lot of work into WC3 with W3Champions. We also always use the classic graphics over the updated ones, as they are clearer (and the newer graphics still have some technical issues). There also have been bugs in the game for months, like the game constantly crashing during the campaign (ironically a bug that was not in the release of Reforged but came up later).

I don't think Reforged is an as big disaster as people claim, but the expectations were a lot higher and Blizzard screwed up a lot...sadly

I've tried replaying campaigns and the number of random bugs is astonishing, like the orb of fire quest not triggering, some acolyte retrievals not triggering, rexxar's maps are completely broken

I believe a few months back (after Helldivers got popular) there was talk of Blizzard hiring for some kind of dive/extraction shooter along those lines. It would make sense if they used their existing IP in Starcraft.

Plus, they like to reuse assets from cancelled projects anyway.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Could be really fun and exciting. If its successful, I imagine a surge in SC2 hype, and also SC3 teases/potential. StarCraft has the goods folks
You're getting cynical and that won't do I'd throw the rose tint back on the exploded view
