Game cancelations-especially those regarding unannounced titles-happen all the time, and Diablo 4 and Overwatch 2 are sequels to two of the developers most successful IPs. These are three major bombshells all in one report, but ultimately things sound better for Blizzard than they did previously. According to the report, the sequel to Blizzard's popular esports title will have a larger focus on PVE, with some internally comparing it to Left 4 Dead. Diablo 4 was previously unearthed in a report late last year, but Overwatch 2 is a surprise. " We always make decisions about these things, regardless of the ultimate outcome or how things are interpreted, based on our values, what we believe makes sense for Blizzard, and what we hope our players will enjoy the most."īlizzard does have a reputation for canceling a lot of projects-one quote famously stated that for every game made by the developer, five are canceled-and apparently, team members from Ares will be moving over to Diablo 4 and Overwatch 2, the two games expected to be the focal points of this year's BlizzCon.
According to those close to the titles, the cancelation of the StarCraft game came as a major shock, with many sources believing that it looked " quite good." Blizzard's full statement in response to the report is at the bottom of this article, but here's a particularly relevant quote:
According to the report, Blizzard is working on both Diablo 4 and Overwatch 2, but the development of those games has come at a heavy price for Terran, Protoss, and Zerg fans: an unannounced StarCraft FPS, code-named Ares, has been scrapped in favor of ratcheting up work on the former two projects.
