Single Player Lore Blizzard-Games

You guys think it’d be cool if there was like an action adventure, 3D platform game upon one of the main characters in the core games of Blizzard? (In the game-style such as Spyro, Ratchet & Clank or Zelda)

For instance:

Warcraft Series –

  • Following the story of a titan-forged in the siege of the Black Empire (Heck, perhaps not a main character, but a heroic soldier from the army, that becomes a revealed main character through the introduction of the game) in the founding & ordering of Azeroth.
  • Playing as one of the Wild Gods in ‘The War of the Ancients’
  • The Troll Wars with the insectoid races of the old gods, driving them back.

Diablo Series –

  • Following the story of ‘The Eternal Conflict’ upon one of the wars where you’re one of the angels pressing against the demonic hordes & horrific armies throughout the cosmos, heck even if you were to play as each of the arch angels in their most defining moments / wars that forged them into who they are today.
  • Playing as a cunning demon, who was more humble & simplistically calm than the rest of their kind who had their like-minded companions slain vicious & bloodily by the heavenly host — Swearing vengeance and using cunning techniques & puzzle-playouts to enact retribution.

— And other historic events throughout a single being’s perspective perspective via a single player game. :slight_smile:

What event & character would you like to see brought to life in such a style of a game?

Well yes, that would be cool, I was interested in this thing there was going to be a console game based on Nova from Starcraft called Starcraft Ghost. That I think eventually became DLC in the RTS format for Starcraft 2 so that’s something.

For now, the closest to all of that would just be the Blizzard classic games, Blackthorne and The Lost Vikings mainly. They have lore focused single player approaches, just not with the core franchises of Blizzard now because I think the exception of the Lost Vikings 2 they were all made before Starcraft, Diablo, and Warcraft.

They could probably use whatever-single-player-game of X character:

  • As a base for both gaining profit +
  • Boosting stories for new or existing characters, for their journeys & make them more excitable characters in the core content (Whether it’s WoW or D4 etc)

If they played their cards right, they could have a major card within every market of the game industry such as FPS, MMORPG, Single Player, etc.

I think blizzard can make a very good single player game that said

  1. activision has already stated they have no interest in a blizzard single player game, they want all their games to have multiplayer aspects such as the survival game they are currently working on. Maybe if the MS purchase goes through that changes.

  2. not sure which lore you are talking about? OG warcraft lore? whatever the current state of duct taped WoW lore is at. Diablo lore even if it is mostly a single player game already. Starcraft lore?
