Blizzard is reportedly working on a StarCraft shooter for the third time

Blizzard is currently working on a shooter set in the StarCraft universe, it’s claimed.

The claim appears in Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier’s new book, Play Nice: The Rise, Fall and Future of Blizzard Entertainment, which will be released on October 8.

Schreier discussed the claim in the latest episode of IGN’s Podcast Unlocked, where IGN editor Ryan McCaffrey asked him about it.

“I suspect that this one will make a lot of headlines, I had the feeling it would,” he explained. “The goal of the book isn’t to get a bunch of scoops about upcoming things, that wasn’t the purpose of this book at all. It was very much
