Reports say Nexon, the South Korean publisher and developer, is close to reaching a deal with Blizzard over the rights to develop a new entry in the StarCraft franchise, potentially titled or described as “StarCraft 3.” The reports indicate the agreement would allow Nexon to create a successor to Blizzard’s long-running real-time strategy series.
Both outlets note that the project is not officially announced. The claim is based on a newly published report and a rough translation referenced by the outlets, and it remains unclear when negotiations might conclude or what scope, branding, or development timeline the deal would cover. Until Blizzard and Nexon make a formal statement, details about authorship, production leadership, and whether the game is a direct sequel are not confirmed. The coverage therefore focuses on the possibility that Blizzard may license franchise rights rather than develop the next installment itself, while emphasizing that no official confirmation has been provided.
