StarCraft fans have had a rough decade, but a new report suggests a wide-ranging revival for the dormant sci-fi franchise is underway. Arc Raiders publisher Nexon has apparently hired a veteran StarCraft modder to lead a new entry in the series at its free-to-play shooter studio, and it seems this project is entirely separate from the long-rumored StarCraft shooter said to be in the works at Blizzard.
Development of a new game building on the StarCraft IP has begun at Nexon, according to a machine translation of a report from Korean outlet dnews. The outlet cites insider sources as it suggests Nexon is currently recruiting key developers for the project, and already has its lead in the form of Choi Jun-ho.
