Ok, but Starcraft is a strategy game. Why does it need so many years in development? 2030? Are they waiting another couple years to start working on the game?

As said, this isn't an RTS. Starcraft 2 had about 3 years from announcement until release I think. Granted they did carve it up into 3 games. But I figured they showed something as Blizzard fans always get overeager to know a series will have a release - so they can then say it sucks and stick with the release from the 90s. Diablo 5 has people upset that they killed D4 so soon, funnily enough.

Oh.

Is there crafting?

I honestly have no clue what it is. All I can find is "open-word shooter". Is it singleplayer? Planetside-like? Do I even care, if it is not RTS? I don't, at least until I see something I would actually want to play.

That they call it simply "Starcraft" is more worrying to me. I didn't expect Blizzard to actually make Starcraft3, but if they reboot the franchise using it's original branding, that means to me they don't even foresee an RTS sequel as a very distant possibility. Or maybe the game is in such early stages that they don't even know what to call it yet.

I was wondering about it. I thought Diablo4 did fairly well. The question was: was it too live-servicey, or not live-servicey enough?

It did do well, really. Well in terms of cash. It'll be 6 years running when D5 comes, and not like the game dies unless they do some Overwatch -> Overwatch 2 type overwrite.

2-3 years isn't that far off. Starcraft has been dormant for nearly a decade now, no?

I think it had some patches recently. I can't think of any game that had a teaser that early in recent history. Maybe I just wasn't paying attention.

Assuming we're still alive by then

Oh come on, just a few years - I think we're all not that old yet. 😁
Although I suppose it could be delayed for 10-15 years.

But my excitement for Blizzard/Diablo died ages ago. They'd have to do something quite radical/different for me to be interested in it again. Which could happen. Not likely, but it could happen.

Virtua Fighter6, Pragmata, Avowed, Elder Scrolls6.

Beyond Good and Evil 2 beats all of them.

I should have said, a game that actually released.

Both Pragmata and Avowed had massive delays. No one expected them to release that late. The point I was trying to make is that no one had that large of a gap between a teaser and expected release date. Elder Scrolls 6, they haven't even started development when they released that teaser. That probably had more to do with driving up the sale price to MS.
