Blizzard reveals StarCraft Dominion, a new open-world shooter launching in 2030

Blizzard Entertainment announced StarCraft Dominion, a new open-world shooter in the StarCraft franchise, during BlizzCon 2026, with a release planned for 2030. The cinematic trailer depicts a Terran Space Marine's training and equipment, with Arcturus Mengsk urging battle against the Zerg, suggesting the story occurs before or during StarCraft 2. The Xbox logo indicates a Microsoft console release, likely for the Helix, and PC. This marks Blizzard's second attempt to move beyond RTS in the franchise, following the cancelled StarCraft: Ghost. The announcement contradicts pre-BlizzCon rumors of a traditional StarCraft 3 RTS.
