TL.net ESPORTS 4 Posts 53 minutes ago #1 Blizzard announced an open world shooter set in the StarCraft universe at BlizzCon, set to release in 2030. A cinematic trailer was shown but no gameplay was revealed. Dan Hay, who had previously worked on the Far Cry series at Ubisoft, gave the live announcement on the BlizzCon Stage. An X/Twitter post from the official StarCraft account described the game as a "Story Driven Open World Shooter." https://starcraft.blizzard.com/en-us

ZeromuS Canada13419 Posts 33 minutes ago #6 2030 is CRAZY cuz they also did the mini ARG stuff, it just feels so far away, and will likely see a delay to boot. And the trailer didn't give us a sense of anything other than Marines being more well trained than they seemed to be before, zerg still a thing, and they said open world shooter. So like.... okay cool? With the way some leaks about its announcement were coming out, it really sounded like there would be a smidge more meat to the announcement, and maybe not be THAT far away. 2028 or 2029 maybe lol

Legan Finland594 Posts 29 minutes ago #10 I wonder if they are even going to have any panels for this. Seems so early. Any questions from the audience could lead to very silly moments.

Brutaxilos United States2634 Posts 27 minutes ago #12 Literally naming it Starcraft (as far as I can tell). This is StarCraft RTS erasure. Also, are they now officially uncapitalizing the C in StarCraft?

Cyro United Kingdom20344 Posts 26 minutes ago #13 Open world shooter is kind of blegh at best, and from the trailer and name it looked like they focused as hard as possible on the "you're a generic human marine dude" rather than having one team play as zerg, one as protoss etc. In that case, what is the point of basically hijacking the Starcraft name/universe?

Legan Finland594 Posts 23 minutes ago #14 lol Diablo V is coming in 2029 before the StarCraft shooter. They did well to hide that announcement, though.

cha0 Canada515 Posts 1 minute ago #17 Should have just put no date at all. Wonder who makes these decisions. What a way to just destroy any hype right in the moment. Also announcing 2030 in 2026... SC Ghost was announced in 2002 and then cancelled in 2006...
