A new shooter set in theStarCraftuniverse is in the works at Blizzard, according to Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier’s book Play Nice, viaEurogamer. The project is headed up by Dan Hay, who worked various leading roles on Ubisoft’sFar Cryseries, and also a 1999 CGI film starring Jim Belushi named “The Nuttiest Nutcracker”. The real-timestrategyspinoff was also mentioned during an IGN podcast thataired yesterday.

As for this new shooter, details seem fairly scant at the moment. It’s not Hay’s first game for Blizzard - he also worked onOdyssey, a survival project that wascancelled this January. The cancellation coincided with nearly 2000 people across Activision Blizzard, ZeniMax and Xbox teams being laid off.

StarCraft: Remastered and StarCraft 2: Campaign Collection arrived on game pass this week, if you somehow haven’t played the greatest RTS campaign in history, and also Starcraft 2.
