The last time we saw a StarCraft game was about 10 years ago with the release of Legacy of the Void, but Blizzard is making some movements that suggest the drought is nearly over.
According to MTN, a Korean news site, Blizzard has been shopping around bids for a Korean-based game company, apparently offering the use of the rights to the Starcraft IP for development, packaged with developing a mobile Overwatch game.
And the winning bid seems to have gone to Nexon. Nexon should be familiar to online multiplayer fans as the developer of The Finals.
The rumblings about a new Starcraft game have been circling for some time now, with posts by Blizzard for several jobs, including associate design director and senior designer, and all for an unannounced game. The reason why some believe it to be a Starcraft game comes from a remark about this subject in Jason Schreier’s book about Blizzard, Play Nice: The Rise, Fall, and Future of Blizzard Entertainment. In the book, he claims that a new StarCraft game is in development at Blizzard.

Furthermore, the ex-boss of Far Cry, Dan Hay, was said to be overseeing a survival game in development at Blizzard, but later, in 2024, it was said that the game was cancelled.
The Overwatch game is apparently being referred to internally as Overwatch 3, though it is suspected that perhaps it will have something to do with connecting the console versions and whatever the mobile version will look like.
