There’s good news and bad news for StarCraft fans today, as Blizzard has, for the first time in what feels like forever, announced some brand new StarCraft content. Except it’s not a new game, or even within the RTS genre, but rather a mini set forHearthstone.
It’s admittedly probably not what RTS fans had in mind for StarCraft, but it’s still a fun collaboration, and hopefully bodes well for the franchise’s future, too, even if we’re now seven years on from its most recent release, the remaster of the first game, and somehow 14 years past StarCraft 2.
Back in September, it was reported by Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier that"StarCraft is not dead at Blizzard,“as the studio apparently had another StarCraft shooter in the incubation station at the time. It was claimed that former Far Cry lead Dan Hay is at the helm for the game, but little else was said about it. Either way, if that’s true, fans of the RTS could have more to look forward to than just this small Hearthstone crossover, as long as it doesn’t follow the same path as StarCraft: Ghost and end up being canceled.
StarCraft 2 veteran would want a sequel go open world, or just “try something radically new.”

I’m one of GamesRadar+’s news writers, who works alongside the rest of the news team to deliver cool gaming stories that we love. After spending more hours than I can count filling The University of Sheffield’s student newspaper with Pokemon and indie game content, and picking up a degree in Journalism Studies, I started my career at GAMINGbible where I worked as a journalist for over a year and a half. I then became TechRadar Gaming’s news writer, where I sourced stories and wrote about all sorts of intriguing topics. In my spare time, you’re sure to find me on my Nintendo Switch or PS5 playing through story-driven RPGs like Xenoblade Chronicles and Persona 5 Royal, nuzlocking old Pokemon games, or going for a Victory Royale in Fortnite.
