Blizzard announced a new open-world StarCraft shooter at BlizzCon 2026, with a release planned for 2030. The title, provisionally named StarCraft, marks the franchise's first major entry in over 15 years. The announcement follows years of rumors and a third attempt at the genre, led by former Far Cry executive producer Dan Hay. Previous attempts, including StarCraft Ghost (cancelled in 2006) and a project codenamed Ares (cancelled in 2019), failed to materialize. Blizzard's long development timelines are consistent with its "when it's ready" philosophy.
