Nexon is reportedly working on a Starcraft mobile game
Since wrapping up work on StarCraft 2, Blizzard’s famed strategy franchise has gone dark, with little news coming out about new content or new games in the series. That is starting to change. We’ve already heard rumours that a new StarCraft shooter is now in development and it turns out that Blizzard may also be looking to expand the series to mobile soon too.
According to MTN, Blizzard recently began accepting pitches from major Korean developers like NCSoft, Net Marble and Nexon. After reviewing, Blizzard has reportedly opted to team up with Nexon to work on a new StarCraft project for mobile devices. It is also claimed that Overwatch Mobile is also in the works.
According to the report, the IP rights acquired by Nexon do not include an RTS genre exclusivity clause. This opens the door for Nexon to potentially create something entirely new for the StarCraft franchise, moving beyond the traditional real-time strategy formula.
Nexon’s game catalogue is surprisingly diverse, including successful titles like the MMORPG MapleStory and the strategy-focused Blue Archive. As such, regardless of the direction they choose, Nexon should have the expertise to create a successful game.
KitGuru says: Do you like Starcraft? If there were a new SC game already in development, would you prefer it to be an RTS or something new to the series?
