Are there any news on the next StarCraft game?

One of gamedev solutions to conquer with imbalance mechanics is to make AI greater.
WE have AlphaStar, just make him control the AI in coop, games will be much more interesting.

Whoever was able to play the April Fool’s Mutation of 2017, we all know how lucky we are. That was absolutely legendary.

Karax goes vrrrrrrrrrr
Yeah, it was one of the best things.

Blizzard had another flagship SC title in the works that got cancelled last year. I’m not sure if this effects SC3 development.

Blizzard was working on a new Starcraft, codename Ares. It used the Overwatch engine. https://starcraft.fandom.com/wiki/Ares_(game)

Using Overwatch engine? A Starcraft FPS? Honestly I don’t care about that, FPSs just aren’t my thing, but people might like it.

Another thing OW uses Pixar graphics, while Starcraft has far more realistic, so making Starcraft into Pixar like game doesn’t sound good to me.

Tbch I doubt StarCraft III is in the works or in planning stages even, but I made this topic “just in case” somebody heard something.

Sounds like that ghost game they were going to make back in the day. Anyway, they will use a new engine for SC3. Hoping it’s RTS.

Mike Morhaime stated in an interview he thought it took a little too long to make sc2, with regard to when sc1 came out. He can certainly make an SC3.

Oops! I wasn’t really precise. When I said Starcraft III, I meant another Starcraft game. I guess I should edit the title.

If they indeed make a Starcraft III it’ll be an RTS, at least at it’s core. However there are other options for the next Starcraft game, an FPS (though I wouldn’t like if this is the case), a TPS, an RPG, some kind of space battle, etc…

Yeah not sure

Mike Morhaime and all the SC2 guys(Alan Dabiri, Chris Sigaty, Dustin Browder, Jonny Rivers, Rick Gilliland, etc) left Blizzard. They are at Dreamhaven now.

Oh and yeah how can we forget Rob Pardo :grin: he went to Bonfire Studios. Bonfire also recruited many of those who worked on Starcraft.

Really? Than that means no Starcraft III. I mean maybe, but that won’t be it. If the real Starcraft 3 ever gets made, it’ll be by dreamheaven using a different name.

No, as far I know the only company that will make RTS is frost giant,dreamhaven want do do something like wow, and metzen went to a tableboard game studio. And the RTS won’t be like starcraft, it will have among us/fortnite/lol aesthetics, so that part won’t be a starcraft game.

sc3 happening only depends on activision executives, the money is there, if they want they can fund the production.I personally think something will come, but in many years (7-8), it will depend mostly on what happens to the company in the next 4 years.

Yeah they totally announced SC3 which is why there’s no news post from Blizzard about it. They’re trying a silent release because RTS is big enough a genre to succeed by word of mouth.

Oh wait, no, there’s absolutely no news on another SC game. When there is, Blizzard will absolutely make an announcement. You know who won’t know in advance? Random forum posters.
