It’s official: there’s a new StarCraft game in the works. But it won’t be helmed by Blizzard Entertainment. The next game in the influential strategy series will be made by Nexon, the South Korean studio known for its success in the mobile space.
Nexon will partner with Blizzard to develop a new StarCraft game, as first reported by South Korean publication MTN. The developer and publisher obtained the rights after a fierce bidding process among several Korean firms, including NCSoft and Marvel Rivals’ Netmarble. This week will kick off “full-scale negotiations regarding the 'StarCraft' IP collaboration,” according to MTN.
