No StarCraft MMO In The Near Future


Blizzard have announced that they currently have no plans for a StarCraft MMO at this time.

The company's co-founder, Frank Pearce, at a press conference at Gamescom earlier today, stated;
“We definitely feel like all the worlds we create would lend themselves well to multiple genres and multiple forms of media,” he said. “So, if there was a development team within Blizzard that was free and available to create a StarCraft MMO and that was something they were really passionate about then we would certainly consider it.

“But right now, as you can see based on the presentations these guys did tonight, we’ve got our hands full with everything we’re doing. So we don’t really have any plans to do anything beyond the StarCraft RTSes and the expansions right now.

He signed off by saying that one should never say never: “But anything’s possible, because we have created such rich and cool universes.”
So projects currently in the works by the developer are StarCraft 2: Heart of the Swarm, Diablo III, expansions to The World of Warcraft, and a new MMO codenamed "Titan".

So you'll probably be waiting a while for a StarCraft MMO. Please don't hold your breath.
