The Korean gaming industry is going through a branching out process to diversify their lineup with Nexon having Dave the Diver and First Berserker Kazan, Neowiz funding Lies of P or Shift Up doing Stellar Blade and so on, they aren't necessarily in this for a cheap mobile spin off. Yeah that’s a good point as well. Could be a ‘AA’ kinda spinoff may not necessarily some cheap mobile game. Suppose we’ll have to wait and see!
I imagine when you leave out all cinematics and stuff, just build a good game, you could easily get away with an AA budget, especially in RTS

Their story mode and characters corresponds to comic books, they can't go more complex than that.

Hoping for not a mobile game though ~
If anyone has played the old Alien vs Predator games, at least the ones that were implemented as asymmetrical PvPvP, I felt like it provided a pretty ideal template for a StarCraft-based FPS or TPS game. I had fun with that game as a casual, though I imagine it's a nightmare to balance for serious competitive play.

It was. Agree it wouldn't be competitive but not everything has to be esport. I still consider AVP and AVP2 among my absolute favourite games of all time.

Many a franchise has went from merely dormant to dead through association with sub-par products that bomb. I don’t know if I think that is really a huge worry for me here, but it can get worse.
Atari is pulling 30+ year old dead IP out of the grave yard and doing a great job.
Lunar Lander, Berzerk, Caverns of Mars, Asteroids, Missile Command, Yars Revenge were recently resurrected.

true, however, comic books can convey a complex character.
they nailed Raynor perfectly in SC1. he was a beat-up, aging guy. He was a compromised "Marshall" of the Confederacy. That is inline with the characters Jason Patric played when he was "Jim Raynor" in Rush and "Nick Tellis" in Narc.
They should've kept Raynor that way.

If Lunar Lander , Missile Command, and Berzerk can make a comeback...anything is possible.

If they could make an sc2 FPS that is anything like the old AVP games, I would spend a decent amount of money supporting them

The campaign of AvP2 as a marine is one of the best horrors to this day. It is a shame we will never see a remake/remaster (the rights on the game were split between 3 parties which hate each other, nowadays 2 parties IIRC)
