mail.freenet.de (German)

Blizzard announced a new open-world shooter set in the Starcraft universe at BlizzCon 2026, breaking from the franchise's real-time strategy roots. The game is slated for release in 2030, with no platforms confirmed yet. Dan Hay, a former Far Cry executive producer at Ubisoft, leads the project. A cinematic trailer titled "Dominion" showed a soldier named Holt fighting the Zerg, but no gameplay footage was revealed. This marks Blizzard's third attempt at a Starcraft shooter after the cancelled Starcraft Ghost and Project Ares. The last new RTS entry, Starcraft 2, launched in 2010, and no Starcraft 3 was announced.
