Nexon has won the rights to develop new content within the StarCraft IP, collaborating with Blizzard after a competitive bid against major Korean companies. This marks a notable revival of the franchise, which has been in hibernation since StarCraft 2: Heart of the Swarm. Importantly, Nexon is not constrained by traditional RTS limitations, providing the opportunity to innovate within this beloved universe. Given Nexon's diverse gaming portfolio, including successful strategy games, there is anticipation for how they might reimagine or expand the StarCraft experience, specifically in Korea, where the franchise has a rich esports history.
Nexon has secured the rights to develop new StarCraft content, ending a bidding war with competitors, signaling a revival of the long-dormant franchise.
The absence of a genre lock on the StarCraft IP allows Nexon to explore fresh concepts, possibly transforming the series beyond its original RTS roots.
