StarCraft reboot: open-world FPS targeting 2030 release
Blizzard announced at BlizzCon 2026 that the next StarCraft game will move from real-time strategy to an open-world first-person shooter, featuring a standalone, story-driven campaign with a defined ending and a 2030 release window. It marks the franchise’s first new title since StarCraft II (2015) and follows earlier canceled FPS efforts like StarCraft Ghost and Ares, while Diablo 5 was also unveiled for spring 2029.
