While Blizzard is very much focussed on its big money-makers like its various Warcraft games, from WoW to Hearthstone to Warcraft Rumble, as well as Diablo and the much-maligned Overwatch 2, he’s still open to StarCraft making a comeback. That said, RTS fans shouldn’t get their hopes up. While the series might return, that doesn’t necessarily mean it will be an RTS, and whatever shape it takes will depend on the person or team who goes to bat for it.
“It’s not me saying, ‘Go make a StarCraft game,’” Ybarra told Bloomberg. “I need to have someone who has the vision and passion that comes with the idea, and I’ll bet on that team.”
A vision and passion he - according to his own words - clearly does not have. 😑
StarCraft doesn’t have to be at RTS, you know.
RTS is a dead genre, but that doesn’t mean the SC universe has to die with it.
The next Total Annihilation is going to be balls to the wall good. Check the trailers.
Storm Gate and Zero Space are being made by ex Blizz staff. Both in alpha.
RTS is back on the menu, boys.
