Reports Point to StarCraft Shooter Reveal at BlizzCon 2026

The unannounced project remains unconfirmed, with reporting crediting Far Cry veteran Dan Hay.

Overview

  • Windows Central's Jez Corden reports the game could headline the September convention and says he has verified its existence through independent sources, though no design details were shared.
  • The project's existence was first surfaced in 2024 in Jason Schreier's book Play Nice, which described a StarCraft shooter in development at Blizzard.
  • Dan Hay, who oversaw the Far Cry series during a key period at Ubisoft Montreal, is reported to be leading the effort.
  • If the reporting holds, this would be at least the third major attempt at a StarCraft shooter after the canceled StarCraft: Ghost and the later Ares project.
  • The same report points to potential BlizzCon news on a new Diablo IV expansion, World of Warcraft's The Last Titan, and the next phase for Overwatch.
