I thought a few years ago there was some statement about there was going to be another Warcraft RTS?
You probably read it in an rts fanboy post on these forums. That’s the only place I’ve seen talk of it over the years.

I remember a while back somebody from Blizzard saying they didn’t really want to do another RTS while the MMO was still going.
It kind of feels like they’re done with that genre. Not even Starcraft gets anything.

We are getting a phone game that has RTS elements. That’s about it.
RIP
in some interview with phil spencer he said that warcraft is an important franchise as both an mmo and RTS and he’d like to continue that - or something along those lines
so if the deal goes through, maybe?
after WC3R, it could be a hot minute before we see a new RTS though, WC or SC.
Nah, dead genre.

I get the feeling that the suits at Blizzard think that an RTS game won’t make the same sort of revenue as a RPG like Diablo or an FPS like Overwatch.

mobas did a shockingly good job at killing the RTS genre.

I feel like anybody could say that RTS just isn’t going anywhere. They’re too hard. 
Mobas are similarly difficult but easier to pick up and much easier to shift blame onto teammates to avoid feeling bad.

Yes, much more approachable plus cute characters.
I think the genre was on its way out before then. In retrospect the early 2000s were the peak, while there were some great games into the mid-late 2000s like Company of Heroes, the genre just stopped selling as well by the time the 2010s got going.
I dunno, SC2 survived for awhile after LoL released.
but probably, turn based grand strategy games were also becoming bigger, and CRPGs were starting to make a comeback around the same time as well. I think it really was MOBAs that truly killed off the genre, but there were definitely other factors.
Rts would be cool if we could play with some new stuff like Dark Iron dwarves, Iron Horde, Legion, Zandalari or Argent Crusade. Depending on when the games story takes place.
they’re talking about removing the faction war…
i doubt a blizz rts would be the warcraft universe…but they could expand on Starcraft for sure 
unfortunately, those quality RTS designers went to other places…so i doubt they could even make one nowadays
we are anxiously awaiting frost giant’s new rts in this household 
With what we got with Reforged, I’ll be surprised if anyone bothers with it.
To be fair they are talking about removing it in the MMO…it could start up again in an RTS.

Nope. Just dead to WoW. Plenty of RTS games coming out, more than MMOs by large margins, even RPGs tbf.
Nah, just dead in general. Certain genres just don’t feel good to not be good at, and RTS is one of them.

Hearts of Iron

Then you have WoW, and several dying MMO’s or those struggling to keep a consumer base. Shrug

i was thinking that they could use some of the unplayable factions in the MMO and just use them in the RTS…
like burning legion, old gods, etc.
in addition to horde/alliance…hope the two factions at least are considered different nations or something idk.
