A project that is gaining momentum again in 2026
The information comes from an article written by Jez Corden in Windows Central, where he reviews the upcoming moves from Microsoft's and Blizzard's studios.
In that context, the journalist keeps that the flagship title of the 2026 event would be a new StarCraft, reimagined as a third-person shooter.

The project was mentioned for the first time in 2024 and would reportedly be led by Dan Hay, former creative lead of the Far Cry saga.

This information also appears in the book Play Nice: The Rise, Fall, and Future of Blizzard Entertainment, written by journalist Jason Schreier.
An old aspiration within Blizzard
It would not be the first time Blizzard has tried to bring StarCraft into the shooter arena. There were previous projects such as StarCraft Ghost and Ares, which never reached the market.

This new attempt would be at least the third to adapt the franchise to a shooter format, although with greater ambition and more solid backing.
When news could arrive
According to Corden, September of this year appears as a possible window to learn the first official details about the game.
If its presence at BlizzCon 2026 is confirmed, Blizzard would be making a strong bet on reviving one of its most beloved brands with a completely different approach.
