Report: Blizzard Canceled a StarCraft First-Person Shooter to Focus on Diablo 4 and Overwatch 2



On June 5, 2019, we reported on a story covering the supposed cancellation of a Blizzard game that was in the works for two years. A now former-employee expressed dismay over the fact that the project would never see the light of day. At the time, the identity of the unfinished game was mysterious, but a Kotaku report has spilled the beans on the canceled project: It was a first-person shooter in the StarCraft series.

As we reported, the project was canceled so the company could focus more on profitability, and we know have a better idea of which projects Blizzard is prioritizing: Diablo 4 and an Overwatch followup. Here?s what Jason Schreier from Kotaku had to say about the two upcoming projects:

.defineSizeMapping(standAloneSizeMapping) .addService(googletag.pubads())
