Daehan Economic News reports that Nexon's StarCraft IP-licensed game is being developed by Nexon's FPS division (responsible for Sudden Attack), with the creator of popular Brood War UMS "Temple Destruction" as one of the leads.

Nexon is said to have created a dedicated team and hired key personnel after acquiring licensing rights to the StarCraft IP in 2025 (this deal was reported by Korean media in May of 2025, but remains unconfirmed by Blizzard and Nexon). According to Daehan News, Nexon stated "we cannot clarify [such reports]" when asked for comment.

Pretty confident this is separate from the Blizzard SC Fps that is being made and expected to headline Blizzcon. So we have two starcraft FPS' but no RTS. Fun.

I highly highly highly doubt that.

It's very likely these are two separate games. If Blizzard has a game they're actually confident enough to show at BlizzCon, it's probably been baking for 2 years + internally. The alleged Nexon licensing deal was reported in May of 2025, and this most recent report is coming not even a year later. The Nexon project has basically just begun and is almost certainly unrelated to whatever Blizzard had been cooking up previously.

Just doesn't make sense to me for both to be FPS. I guess only time will tell though. Seems like wasted potential with the IP. I mean, I will play an FPS and it sounds cool, but i also want something to be RTS. Imo just like, without data and leaks and info and stuff like that, either they have 1 starcraft game cooking, and its the shooter, or 2 starcraft games and only 1 is shooter.
