StarCraft could return, according to Blizzard president, but not necessarily as an RTS (www.pcgamer.com)

While Blizzard is very much focussed on its big money-makers like its various Warcraft games, from WoW to Hearthstone to Warcraft Rumble, as well as Diablo and the much-maligned Overwatch 2, he's still open to StarCraft making a comeback. That said, RTS fans shouldn't get their hopes up. While the series might return, that doesn't necessarily mean it will be an RTS, and whatever shape it takes will depend on the person or team who goes to bat for it.

"It's not me saying, 'Go make a StarCraft game,'" Ybarra told Bloomberg. "I need to have someone who has the vision and passion that comes with the idea, and I'll bet on that team."

A vision and passion he - according to his own words - clearly does not have. 😑

They need to make a Starcraft vs Warhammer 40k game. If only because Starcraft is 40k lite.

That's because, if I remember the story correctly, StarCraft started out as a WH40K game, but Blizzard couldn't secure the rights from Games Workshop, so they basically made their own universe with hookers and blackjack.

Thats exactly what happened and its exactly why we should have a cross over. But by the downvotes it seems people dont want it.
