Summary
Blizzard has reportedly chosen preferred candidate Nexon to develop a new StarCraft game, while also considering the company for Korean and Japanese mobile gaming rights to a new Overwatch title.
A bidding war for the rights included contenders Guild Wars publisher NCSoft, Solo Leveling: Arise creators Netmarble and PUBG: Battlegrounds outfit Krafton.
Nexon reportedly pitched a number of concepts for a new StarCraft game, though sources say the preferred option is a MOBA.
However, complications are arising due to the massive ongoing success of StarCraft 2 in South Korea, meaning any developer of a new title would be competing with Blizzard’s own ongoing franchise.
At the same time, Blizzard itself is not believed to be working on a new StarCraft game, with insiders suggesting the company is focusing on a StarCraft shooter.
