Overview
- Korea Economic Daily and dnews report that Nexon has formed a team within its Shooting Division to develop a StarCraft game and has recruited noted modder Choi Jun-ho to lead planning.
- Outlets differ on progress, with VGC citing claims of “full-scale development” while TweakTown characterizes the effort as prototype and planning rather than full production.
- Nexon has declined to confirm details of the project, telling reporters it cannot comment on the work with Blizzard.
- Separately, Jason Schreier maintains Blizzard has its own StarCraft shooter in development led by Dan Hay and indicates the Nexon effort is unrelated to that internal project.
- A Blizzard job listing for a gameplay-physics engineer references vehicle simulation for an unannounced game, which coverage cites as further evidence pointing to a shooter, with BlizzCon 2026 frequently mentioned as a potential reveal window.
