Reports: Blizzard Poised to Unveil StarCraft Shooter at BlizzCon 2026

Windows Central reports it has verified the unannounced project through its own sources.

Overview

  • Jez Corden of Windows Central says a StarCraft shooter is likely to be the headline reveal at BlizzCon 2026 in September.
  • Blizzard has not officially announced the game, and specific details remain unconfirmed.
  • Coverage traces the project back to Jason Schreier’s 2024 book, which named former Far Cry lead Dan Hay as the leader of the effort.
  • Reports disagree on the game’s perspective, with most outlets describing a third-person shooter and at least one citing first-person, and key elements like multiplayer and scope are still unknown.
  • The project follows prior canceled StarCraft shooter attempts, including StarCraft: Ghost, which Blizzard officially acknowledged as canceled in 2014.
