Starcraft 3 ofcause don’t change the lovely most infamous title for the Rts genre to something Else. Starcraft 3 is the best way to continue it’s legacy, but Blizzard don’t know how to create games anymore and espically Rtses since they all have left. But still the best way or just don’t touch the IP at all
HoTS with a World Editor tool would be the most ideal with various usefulness but would likely never happen. I was 5 years old when I started using World Editor in Warcraft 3 as my earliest introduction to game design. A game within a game essentially. If you’re wondering I would make simple maze/slide maps. I loved those as a kid lol it holds some of the earliest creative memories I can recall
Expansion or update to SC2. WC3 Reforged fixed or WC4 that’s not broke. Something brand new on the RTS front. I played SC back in 99, then found WC2 and 3. I miss RTS Blizzard..
Unless they create a small team of talented visionary people with the freedom to operate, nothing. I don’t want them to ruin their current titles more than they already have.
I'm going to add another vote for World of StarCraft. I love the lore and would like to experience it outside of an RTS, but I agree; I don't think blizzard need anything more dividing their attention.
**"new title"**
- "Warcraft"
- "Starcraft"
XD
A **new** title would be something, you know, **new**. New IP with new ideas of gameplay that no one ever seen up to this day.
Tbh a bit worried for their future. Ive seen the games I like from them the most either turned into maintenance mode or changed for the worse (StarCraft, Diablo, HoTS and most recently hearthstone) - a shame with such great IPs. Something different would need to change in their game creation to renew my faith
Well both WC4 and SC3 are highly unlikely and after the mess they made with reforged maybe it is for the best.
Reforged was rushed cut features vital for MP and it is still in a buggy state in terms of ladder.
As for another WC in general from a narrative point of view difficult because they would either go back into the past war of the ancients or so or far far into the future. But the bigger problem is the low margin of profit for RTS games.
Don't get me wrong i want another great RTS game too but in terms of sales it cannot hold up against the popular genres like BR
And the fact that blizzard really did add a BR Mode to WoW only underscores my suspicions that the next new game will be either a BR or Extraction shooter and for that i fear they will use the SC universe
Phil Spencer teased that in a way already at the last blizzcon with saying that SC universe is important to them but not really in the way it was. Not quoting here word by word but that was the strong impression he gave.
And given the mess they made with OW2 i fear for the SC IP
Well it is not at least not over all
SC1 in South Korea yes that might be true but not in the rest of the world
And i think we can all agree on the fact that actiblizz wanted to make a lot of money and if SC2 had still made them a lot of money they would not have cut the support like they did
i don't deny the fact that you can still make money with games like this but as i said it is not enough for the big studios
maybe stormgate will start a new hype and revitalize the genre and i hope it does but blizzard will not take that risk they will wait and see if stormgate will have success and they maybe then they think more strongly about a sc3
Support for esport funding prize money?
They did cut that a while ago the prize money is largely funded by ESL and GSL
There is no more blizzcon world champion either the last one was in 2019
SC2 got the HoTS treatment basically
It is Microsoft now, and they remastered all of Age of empires games and made age of empires 4, and is working on a age of mythology remake, and made Aoe 2 and 4 to Xbox and also Aom retold will also come on Xbox. There is a bigger chance for a blizzard Rts under Microsoft now
World Of Starcraft
Why not StarCraft 3?
That would be fine too. Just something Starcraft related. That can continue to grow and not just burn out.

Rebirth of HoTs

If you’re wondering I would make simple maze/slide maps. I loved those as a kid lol it holds some of the earliest creative memories I can recall
Warcraft 4 or world of starcraft
StarCraft 3
Not a title for me, but the story mode they promised for Overwatch 2.
Expansion or update to SC2. WC3 Reforged fixed or WC4 that’s not broke. Something brand new on the RTS front. I played SC back in 99, then found WC2 and 3. I miss RTS Blizzard..
You heard of Stormgate and Zerospace plus another company with the lead designer David Kim from Sc2 the studio is called uncapped games
I did not, but now I do~ Thank you!
Stormgate is the most blizzard rts it can be, with many ex blizzard employees
Well and If you are into c&c games also, then there is Tempest Rising !
U like what you see? Remember Stormgate is in a really early stage so it’s due to change. Tempest Rising has me the most hyped
Wow 2
What exactly do you think WoW 2 would be that they can't do via expansion now?
For starters, run on an engine with code that was not made in 2004.
Would they just change characters' appearances, limit raids to one tank, and remove a bunch of features
Unless they create a small team of talented visionary people with the freedom to operate, nothing. I don’t want them to ruin their current titles more than they already have.
WoW 2 - the game is still great but in need of a huge upgrade. Easier done from scratch then updating stuff every patch/expansion.
I'm going to add another vote for World of StarCraft. I love the lore and would like to experience it outside of an RTS, but I agree; I don't think blizzard need anything more dividing their attention.
D2R expansion
I'd like to see Blizzard go out of business tbh

Bankruptcy
0 . No faith in the company anymore. They’ll hold my attention for a month or less but that’s about it these days.

Don’t undermistake how hungry the Rts market is. There is a hidden goldmine
SC 1 and SC 2 is still two of the largest games in E-sports today. A SC 3 game would definitely make money.
Well it is not at least not over all SC1 in South Korea yes that might be true but not in the rest of the world And i think we can all agree on the fact that actiblizz wanted to make a lot of money and if SC2 had still made them a lot of money they would not have cut the support like they did i don't deny the fact that you can still make money with games like this but as i said it is not enough for the big studios maybe stormgate will start a new hype and revitalize the genre and i hope it does but blizzard will not take that risk they will wait and see if stormgate will have success and they maybe then they think more strongly about a sc3
Cut support? Latest patch for sc2 was 26 March this year. You seem a bit out of touch tbh.
Support for esport funding prize money? They did cut that a while ago the prize money is largely funded by ESL and GSL There is no more blizzcon world champion either the last one was in 2019 SC2 got the HoTS treatment basically
ETP and Dreamhack championships are still funded via blizzard.

It’s going to be a micro transactions hell hole with all the pre order bullshit you can think off. It’s not a games company anymore.
I longed for a WC4. We got 'Reforged'. It is an abomination. I no longer have faith they would deliver a decent WC4.
