Good news

Is it though? I don't see how mobile game slop is good in any way.

plenty of people like those games.


Plenty of people "like" drugs and gambling. It's not good, period.

That being said, there is of course the chance they will make something good. The chance for that happening are just abysmally low.

To be fair, StarCraft Brood War is addictive enough on its own merit. You know it's true.

I don’t think it’s that important or impactful really, least for what I want.

If it’s super successful I’m still not sure it moves the needle on an SC3. Equally if it bombs I don’t think it inhibits it either.

Please dont be a 4x 'town' game...

Kind of bummed out that King isnt making the mobile game they are already a part of the company. A Starcraft candycrush would have been lit

Honestly they should treat StarCraft like any of the big franchises such as Star Wars or Marvel. But keep the budgets mid, and just crank out a couple or three fantastic games completely separate in genre, tone or whatever they want.

- First person SCV offworld mining game, Mass Effect style romance on a remote outpost. Farther the player goes the more dangerous but better minerals and abandoned Refineries. Maybe no actual Zerg or Protoss but remnants, local dangerous wildlife and magma or even ice volcanoes as danger as well.

- Star Fox style single player game using an assortment of Wraith's, Ravens, Vikings

- Traditional RTS StarCraft but only multiplayer or only campaigns. Keep it robust but not too much feature creep.

-

You're getting cynical and that won't do I'd throw the rose tint back on the exploded view

ive been thinking. so we know nexon has licensing rights to develop starcraft, but it would still technically be produced by Blizzard right? I am picturing a scenario where whatever they are developing will get teased at Blizzcon 2026. I think it is incredibly likely. Blizz is returning to blizzcon after years they will wanna make a big impression and not leave anyone out to win back the hearts of their community. this is like microsofts first real blizzcon after having some time with the acquisition and they have a chance to show the company is in good hands now. They already spoke highly of starcraft in the past, saying they want to revitalize it, they wear starcraft shirts on stage, i think next blizzcon will have starcraft in it! the starcraft 3 copium train is alive and i will be its conductor. youre in good hands.

this is horrible news... I hope Jaeyun Cho doesn't take over this because just 2 days ago the whole Kartrider Drift title has been scrapped... Nexon has a long list of mistakes in their credits.

They probably started ditching other projects when they got overwatch and StarCraft rights. This is a big loot situation. This could change their life.

I love the optimism but I honestly don't think they have the talent anymore. I think thats why Blizzard bled ALL their RTS talent they had acquired through the late 2010s. There wasn't a new RTS in production so they all left.

Update: Chosun Ilbo is also reporting that Nexon has obtained the rights to develop games based on the StarCraft IP. There don't appear to be any new details—just another credible Korean media source corroborating the original report.

There are several mentions of Starcraft 3 which is kinda new since most expected a Starcraft game in a different genre

that's all in the speculative fluff part of the article; there's not really any significant new info here
