In a big change for Blizzard, it sounds like the new StarCraft shooter won't be a live-service game "Think of it as purchasing a standalone boxed game." Blizzard has revealed more tangible details about what the new StarCraft game actually is, beyond it being an open-world shooter due for release in 2030. "If I were to describe the overall structure we currently envision, it's a 'box product'," project leader Dan Hay said during a Korean media roundtable at BlizzCon 2026, reported by Inven Global. At the very least, what we are building right now is not a seasonal game." Dan Hay oversaw the Far Cry series at Ubisoft for 10 years, from Far Cry 3 to Far Cry 6, so he comes from a much more traditional "boxed" game background. "I want to avoid a situation where I say something here and headlines come out reading 'Blizzard Developing Another StarCraft Game Beyond This Title'" -Dan Hay The story itself takes place 70 years after previous events in the StarCraft series, which I assume means after StarCraft 2: Legacy of the Void and DLC Nova Covert Ops.
