There are many genres of games, and Blizzard-not to mention Activision-is versatile. I doubt we’ll see another StarCraft RTS in the current generation and milieu of gaming-whatever that means.īut even then, that doesn’t mean the end of StarCraft, nor does it mean being relegated to Super Smash Bros–like appearances in Heroes of the Stormand that ilk. Even Warcraft 4, now as ever in perpetually high demand, seems a little dicey. In the five years since, real time strategy games have gone somewhat out of fashion, or at least been eclipsed by the MOBA genre, its own child. After all, twelve long years elapsed between the release of StarCraft: Brood War and StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty.

In the same IGN interview where a Blizzard producer revealed that Warcraft 4 was officially on the table, that same producer-Tim Morten-revealed that StarCraft ain’t finished. But StarCraft doesn’t have to end after StarCraft 2. The story is going to wrap up in a real and hopefully satisfying way. Legacy of the Void will definitively end the story of StarCraft 2, and with it many threads that held over from StarCraft.
