Phil Spencer has said he’s keen to sit down with Blizzard to discuss potential opportunities for its classic RTS games such as StarCraft.

“The first thing I would say is, I’m not allowed to make any decisions about what happens at Blizzard oror King,” he replied. “So this is all just kind of talking and thinking about what the opportunity is, but you’re absolutely right.

“Not only StarCraft, but WarCraft, when you think about the heritage of RTS games that we’re talking about here, specifically from Blizzard. And I don’t have any concrete plans today because I can’t really get in and work with the teams.“But StarCraft was a seminal moment in gaming, right? From an esports perspective, from RTS on console perspective, and from just an RTS storytelling perspective in the genre.

He added: “And I’m excited about getting to sit down with the teams at Activision and Blizzard and King to talk about back catalog and opportunities that we might have. “So I will dodge the question other than to say it’s not something I can actively work on right now. But the thought of being able to think about what could happen with those franchises is pretty exciting to me, as somebody who spent a lot of hours playing those games.”

Hell it's about time

Yea

Starcraft 2 was the prev game, we also are getting two RTS from sc related stuff (stormgate and that other one), we need warcraft 4... continue its own unique story not involved with world of warcraft, it's time.

YES

N64 remaster let's gooo

I feel like this entire article can be summed up in: Blizzard RTS is cool. We might do something with that ip.

SC: Ghost

there are good forgotten franchises like kingdom underfire on xbox 1, ninja gaiden, onimusha, splinter cell, castlevania

I really want warcraft 4

As a boss of one of the biggest game company,he talked too much and spent too much time on internet.

If XboxP3 not talking about the resurrection of Starcraft Ghost then he's waisting time & energy on nothing.

Why not revive classic IP's they already own like Banjo Kazooie and Conker? Waste of potential. All bark and no bite.

Maybe they should first and foremost tell ActiBlizz to get their s*it together, then they can start talking about possible legacy game re-releases.

it is absolutely necessary that the redemption be validated, I think that under Xbox ABK will be much better and the gamers will be rewarded 🙏

They got Worlds Edge, Xbox has the RTS ppl to do it, at least collaborate to make one. The GhostMLD in my Gamertag stems from the Terran Ghost. Leave it to Xbox to revive another childhood favourite of mine.

Gonna be big news to the Blizzard employees when Phil tells them their studio made good games.

Starcraft 2 and aoe2 on my xbox would be such a dream

Yes, bring back Starcarft and do a 1st or 3rd person spinoff of high quality.

Ahhh man!!! I need more StarCraft in my life. Gimme gimme gimme!

No pls leave StarCraft alone!

TheActMan_YT

Bring Starcraft to Gamepass PC!

make it happen

Stop this bullshit. The people that made the game and made it great are gone. The people that made blizzard great are all gone

Please don't let my favorite game franchise die in obscurity, Microsoft daddy

He should probably focus on Xboxs own IPs first

can't wait for a starcraft game without any of the people that actually made a previous starcraft game, buying blizzard was such a waste of money LOL. enjoy your battlepasses nerds.

A 3rd person Starcraft action game would be amazing

This could be massive. I'd be very curious to see an Xbox Series XX of this game. 😏

Besides porting the main games StarCraft 1 and 2 there are so many things they could do with the series! Can't wait to see.

If it takes $70 billion to bring back StarCraft, it would have been worth it

Love it already

CMA is surely watching closely the arrogance of this man talking as if the deal was closed already

Starcraft BW needs to be released from Blizzard to continue any potential

RELEASE STARCRAFT GHOST!!!

Make it happend please.

Do it XboxP3 !!! Dust them off and reintroduce them to the world. 🤘❤

Starcraft Ghost is not vaporware.

Don't give us hope Phil

I love rts games I know it's not an Activision game but I would love to see the older command & conquer games come back at some point

Anything is fine, just let me play Zerg or Protoss.

Thank God. Bring back starcraft and warcraft even if it's new styles of games within the ip on the Activision side of ABK I wanna see another TH:Underground or pro skater

Phil spencer needs to work on shipping the projects alrdy in development before he starts talking about new ones. 🤡

Real-time strategy games on home console relative niche and not popular than PC.

Rts craze, bring it back

Bring WoW to Console

So we finally got official Kinect support for StarCraft2

Blizzard gotta make single player games

I’m most excited about previous comments revolving around revival of guitar hero 🎸

Also bring back Transformer games

Might want to wait on that one. There a very good chance the UK could block this deal yet.

While they are talking they should also discuss to make something new, not just a sequel to a sequel. The last original idea from Blizzard_Ent was Starcraft 1.. And perhaps to make games without MTS stores with focus on making a game first, not a storefront first. XboxP3

The conversations nobody talks about. COD isn't the only thing this deal has to offer. It's those legacy IP that can be rebooted or remade for next gen. Tenchu, StarCraft, Spyro, True Crime, and many more. We need to free Raven and High Moon studios from the COD shackles.

So Phil Spencer kills Halo but wants to revive Starcraft? Why not start with your own IPs, not ones that you don't even own yet. 🤦‍♂️ He turned one of the biggest franchises in gaming into the biggest joke in gaming and wants to 'revive' SC. Zero self awareness!

Starcraft 3 ❤ Age of Empires 4 ❤ Age of Mythology Remake ❤ I hate the CMA, seems to be Ponies

Omg! Yes!

Why would anyone want to work with blizzard anymore. They are just sexist greedy piggies

possible announcement of blizzard shutting down the asian server

So much potential in the Starcraft IP. Besides an obvious 3rd in the RTS series you can have so many offshoots: an FPS (by Id), 3rd-Person action adventure like Gears of War (revive StarCraft). An isometric Diablo-view shooter. Even a Destiny-style MMO. Endless possibilities.

Put them on Steam XboxP3 !

How is no one talking about the fact that Team Xbox is trying to bring WoW to Xbox? This whole Call of Duty BS is just an annoyance. THEY ARE TRYING TO AQUIRE WORLD OF WARCRAFT PEOPLE.

That would please me greatly

StarCraft Ghosts!!!!!!

Bring back that StarCraft FPS out of the shelf, and while you are at it, StarCraft : Ghost!

StarCraft Classic + Reforged for mobile with p2w

bring them to VR

What could they discuss with Blizzard abouto one of their most famous IPs? Maybe release a new game? Phil is a genius.

👀

x_scytherage_x StarCraft ghost please

Warcraft 4 please... Give us RTS Warcraft back... I loved those games back then so very very much!!!

He better!!!

2028 is goin to be a great year

Starcraft: Ghost COME ON!

Oh God, yes please!

Bring back StarCraft:Ghost.

I'm not a big fan, mostly because I know the complexity about that games. I think it will be hard to play them on console.

What about Ressurecting IPs at Activision

StarCraft is a rich universe and needs to evolve from just being an RTS. My hope is that Xbox can breath new life into the long dormant IP and create some new experiences within new genres to help generate new fans.
