Blizzard might have just given all of us Starcraft fans out there a reason to celebrate, although we’d still advise optimistic caution.
A new job posting for a Lead Designer, Innovation has gone up on the studio’s careers page, sparking speculation that it might finally be taking its rumored Starcraft project into development.
The posting lists several important details, including the fact that the project is a “AAA shooter” and that the job requires expertise working with Unreal Engine. That could be a giveaway considering the studio’s tendency to work with in-house engines, and the extensive experience requirement is a sign that the mystery project is a big one, and requires a seasoned hand at the helm of its design philosophies.
Putting all these together makes Starcraft a logical choice for the project, although nothing’s been officially confirmed at this point. We’d take this with a pinch of salt until an announcement from the studio. However, we’re the first to admit it’s hard not to hope for a new title in the sci-fi franchise after the long years of waiting for one. Time will reveal all, but until then, we’re keeping our fingers crossed… at least, until BlizzCon 2026, which runs from September 12th to 13th.
