The rumblings about the next StarCraft game continue to get louder.

The short version

  • Following recent reports that Korean developer-publisher Nexon had acquired the rights to develop a sequel in the sci-fi franchise , the official StarCraft 2 website started displaying visual glitches , clearly signaling some sort of impending announcement.
  • Now, thanks to new information, we may have some idea of what kind of game it's going to be.
  • According to Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier, we should rule out the possibility of the next StarCraft game being a Destiny-style live service shooter.

What happened

Schreier revealed this tidbit in a recent chat with former Polygon guides producer Ryan Gilliam, though without saying more besides. "I wouldn't count on this StarCraft game being a Destiny-like, I'll say that," said Schreier .

Why it matters

This was a particularly disappointing revelation for the host, who wanted another well-funded studio to carry Destiny's mantle.
