A new StarCraft game could be coming after reports hint towards a new developer picking up the IP from Blizzard Entertainment. Recent reports have suggested Blizzard was looking to sell the IP, and according to rumors, developer Nexon has picked it up.

Nexon Wins the War

Nexon, a South Korean video game developer and publisher is better known for its work on MapleStory and its publishing of The First Berserker: Khazan, reportedly outbid NCSoft, Netmarble, and Krafton after pitching possible ideas to Blizzard for the future of the StarCraft.

The news comes from Korean network MTN, which says Nexon and Blizzard will work together to develop the new game and that they are not placing restrictions on the game’s genre, meaning it could move away from the RTS genre to be an RPG, FPS, open-world survival game, horror, MOBA, or any other genre.

What’s Next for the StarCraft Franchise?

The last entry in the legendary StarCraft franchise was Legacy of the Void in 2015, and fans of the RTS genre have been crying for the series that redefined it to return. If true, the recent news could see the series move in an entirely new direction.

Blizzard and Nexon have not confirmed the rumors, and it’s only early days, but if the reports are true, fans may get a massive announcement or reveal by the end of 2026.
