A new StarCraft title may be announced soon, with Blizzard seemingly building up hype.
For years, the official StarCraft website consistently featured content related to StarCraft: Remastered, but the page has suddenly started showing glitches.
The website's background visuals and Battle.net logo are flickering, as if being disrupted by an external signal.
With BlizzCon scheduled for September 12–13 next week, various signs suggest that Blizzard may be hinting at announcing a new StarCraft title at the event.
Earlier this year, reports emerged that Blizzard was developing a first-person shooter spin-off set in the StarCraft universe, likely to be officially unveiled during BlizzCon.
This in-development StarCraft shooter was first revealed last year in Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier's book, "Play Nice: The Rise, Fall, and Future of Blizzard Entertainment."
The book revealed that the project is led by former Far Cry series director Dan Hay. He spent ten years at Ubisoft Montreal, leaving in 2021, and played a pivotal role during the franchise's peak years.
Another report in February indicated that a second StarCraft shooter is also in development, co-developed by Nexon, the studio behind Arc Raiders.
A report from South Korea indicates that Nexon's shooter division has begun "full-scale development" of a new title using the StarCraft IP.
Schreier later stated that Nexon's project is likely unrelated to the StarCraft shooter mentioned in his book, suggesting that Blizzard has at least two similar projects in the works.
Blizzard previously attempted twice to create StarCraft-themed shooters, under the codenames "Ghost" and "Ares," but both projects were ultimately canceled.
