Exciting news for “StarCraft” fans as rumors suggest Blizzard Entertainment might be working on something special. The speculation comes from Jez Corden of WindowsCentral, who inadvertently leaked details during a Twitter Ask Me Anything (AMA) session.
Let’s not get carried away. Leaks are often met with skepticism. Corden’s AMA coincided with a moment when he had indulged in a few drinks, so caution is necessary. Nevertheless, there’s hope for “StarCraft” enthusiasts.

During the AMA, a user asked about Xbox’s interest in reviving the “StarCraft” franchise. Corden’s response caught attention, implying that Microsoft “won’t need to revive (StarCraft).” When another user mentioned “StarCraft 3,” Corden simply replied with “Yep.” Unfortunately, no further insights were provided. While the leak lacks evidence, Corden has a reliable track record. However, he later attempted to retract his statements, mentioning that “the franchise isn’t dead.”
If the rumors are true, it would be the first news since “StarCraft 2’s” Nova Covert Ops in 2016. Fans should remember patience, with an 11-year gap between “StarCraft: Brood War” and “StarCraft 2.” Expect several more years before a potential “StarCraft 3 release.” Blizzard’s recent struggles with RTS games, like the underwhelming “WarCraft 3: Reforged” launch, raise questions about the direction of “StarCraft 3.” Only time will tell, and an official announcement from Blizzard is needed. Hope remains that the legendary RTS series will captivate fans with its gameplay and storytelling.
