Nexon is also reported to have won the rights to distribute a new Overwatch mobile game—which is said to be a MOBA genre game—in Korea and Japan. NCSoft and Netmarble are reported to have also actively bid for the package of StarCraft IP + Overwatch mobile distribution rights. There are said to be no restrictions on genre or type of content to be created with the StarCraft IP. The Korean publishers are said to have submitted various pitches regarding StarCraft IP such as a spinoff game, mods, and user generated content, but Nexon's specific pitches are unknown.

But it's Nexon, and their track record for gacha elements in games isn't great. I'm very cautiously optimistic. But if they do a StarCraft/Blue Archive crossover I might just have to barf up a lung....
