Blizzard might come back to the classic Warcraft RTS series after the upcoming expansiob Legacy of the Void wraps up the Starcraft 2 saga.
Speaking to IGN, Legacy of the Void producer Tim Morten said that while this is definitely not the last we’ll see of Blizzard’s flagship sci-fi franchise, the team is considering other options too.
”This isn’t the end of StarCraft, but it’s the end of this story for these characters,” Morten confirmed. ”We don’t have any specific plans, but I’ll say that the universe has so much potential for more stories, clearly other stories could be told.”
”It’s very rewarding for us to hear that there’s demand out there for more RTS content in the Warcraft universe so once we’re done with Void I think we’ll get together as a team and talk about what would inspire us to work on next. There’s no question, though, that we’ll consider Warcraft, StarCraft, or even new ideas. Anything is possible.”
Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos was released way back in 2002, with expansion pack The Frozen Throne dropping a year later. Since then Blizzard’s never really broached the subject of another fantasy RTS game, which isn’t that surprising when you consider the astonishing popularity of World of Warcraft. What do you think, would you be up for another Warcraft RTS?
