Viral screenshot and insider information has indicated that Blizzard Entertainment is throwing a bigger development team behind StarCraft II. This is an indication that corporate interest is beginning to be re-focused back on the iconic real-time strategy series as it's been fairly dormant in terms of major updates over the last few years. This internal adjustment (if indeed proven true) may lead to the first major content shakeup in over a decade for the game.
Insider claims Blizzard is refocusing on the iconic real-time strategy series
The insider information seems to indicate a remastering effort, as opposed to a new expansion. This information comes directly from a reputable leaker in SCHistorian who cited an insider who's a high ranking Blizzard employee. The information indicates that something big could be coming down the pipeline in 2027. The specific nature of this update is not confirmed from the developer.
It seems from the rumor mill that we may be looking at something more in the StarCraft II: Remastered format rather than a new expansion. This might matter to those who remember Blizzard's past efforts to remaster existing content. They've had StarCraft: Remastered, Diablo II: Resurrected, and Warcraft III: Reforged. The pattern seems to be to remaster old games and introduce modern graphics and quality-of-life improvements.
Blizzard Entertainment has not confirmed any of this information. These claims are purely from unconfirmed insider information and a viral screenshot that's been floating around. Everything about the 2027 release and specific remaster focus is speculation until the developer can give us some meat to chew on.
Blizzard Entertainment has not had anything to say about the leak or the team allocation. Opinions on the state of the game (and whether a remaster is even needed with all the modding) are divided in the gaming community. Such official confirmation would likely be available through standard Blizzard press outlets or large gaming events.
