Ares
Perhaps even worse than the development hell that StarCraft Ghost underwent are the reports of Blizzard working on a first person shooter set in the StarCraft universe. According to Kotaku, which spoke to sources in the company, the project – codenamed “Ares” – would focus on a Terran marine fighting against the Zerg. It was developed on the Overwatch engine for roughly two years before being cancelled in order to focus on the hero shooter and Diablo (sequels for both were subsequently announced at BlizzCon 2019).
With so many first person shooter studios under its belt, a proper Starcraft FPS – even if it’s not exactly Ares – would be a dream come true.
