Starcraft 3 is reportedly in development

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.

Microsoft won't get to revive StarCraft because their acquisition will fail. Jizz Corden knows less than nothing. He's a revolting blob monster.

I do hope StarCraft comes back, but a Mike Ybarra run Blizzard isn't the company to do it.

Man I love Starcraft but imo all the talent has already left Blizzard. Looking forward to Frostgiant Games' Stormgate which should basically be Starcraft × Warcraft.
