The next game in the acclaimed StarCraft series seems to be on its way. According to journalist Jez Corden, StarCraft 3 is currently in development at Blizzard.
In a reply to a fan’s question on Twitter about Microsoft reviving StarCraft if/when its purchase of Activision Blizzard closes, Corden says that won’t need to happen.
“[Microsoft] won’t need to revive StarCraft,” Corden said.
A different user specifically asked if it was StarCraft 3 and if Corden knew anything about it, and he responded with a simple one-word answer: “Yep”.
StarCraft II, the last game in the series was originally released 13 years ago back in 2010. The game did have a number of expansions, the last of which came in 2016. Since then, however, Blizzard has been quiet on the franchise, focusing on Overwatch and Diablo.
With both those series having new releases recently, it would make sense for the company to then turn to its real-time strategy title.
Insider Gaming has reached out to Activision Blizzard for comment. Should a response be received, this article will be adjusted accordingly.
