StarCraft is back, but it's not the RTS you remember - it's an open-world shooter coming spring 2030

Blizzard announced a new StarCraft open-world shooter launching spring 2030, revealed at BlizzCon 2026. The game shifts away from the traditional real-time strategy formula, featuring ground-level combat on Zerg-infested worlds with a Terran protagonist. It will be Xbox-exclusive.
