Nexon Reportedly Close to Blizzard Deal for New StarCraft Game

Reports say Nexon could gain StarCraft development rights as talks with Blizzard continue, but no agreement has been signed and details remain undecided.

  • Nexon is reportedly close to signing a deal with Blizzard to develop a new game using the StarCraft IP, according to reports from South Korea.
  • A March agreement for Nexon to manage Overwatch in South Korea preceded these renewed reports, establishing a foundation for deeper collaboration between the two companies.
  • Conflicting accounts exist: Chosun initially reported a completed contract before modifying its story, while Newsis claims discussions remain in early stages without a signed agreement.
  • Neither Nexon nor Blizzard has confirmed the deal, and Nexon declined to comment when contacted by media outlets regarding the status of negotiations.
  • StarCraft has remained stagnant with no full expansion since Legacy of the Void in 2015, leaving the RTS franchise without new content for over a decade.
