Nexon Has Assembled A StarCraft Shooter Dev Team According To Report From Korean Outlet

You may or may not remember that about nine months ago, there were reports about a deal between Nexon and Blizzard granting Nexon the rights to create a new game using the StarCraft IP. At the time, reports were vague, and it seemed that the developer might be able to work on multiple StarCraft-related projects.

Whatever the case, it wasn’t outright confirmed what, if anything, Nexon was working on. Now, we may have some idea as to what’s in store. A report from the Korean news outlet Korea Economic Daily and shared by MassivelyOP, indicates that the company could be working on that StarCraft shooter players have been hoping for for…how long now?

According to the report, StarCraft modder Choi Jun-ho may be involved as the project lead. The report goes on to state that the “preliminary preparations” of putting together a team to work on the game have been completed. (Keep in mind, this is what Google Translate gave Massively.)

Of course, until Blizzard confirms or denies this – which they haven’t as of yet – it’s best to remain cautiously optimistic about the whole thing. It’s also worth remembering that if the report is accurate, Nexon is still in the early, early stages and hasn’t even begun development. So, at best, it will be a good while before we see anything.
