The modern games industry often resorts to trailers, hints, and “accidental” leaks. The reason for this is clear: the “hype” flywheel needs to be started early to keep the gaming community in suspense and force them to take the time to check out the feature news. And now it seems that after going through the stage of “random” leaks, Blizzard has entered the stage of hinting.

According to reports from fans of the StarCraft series, on the official website of the series start to appear Various “distractions” and hidden messages related to future project time. Especially from this news, it can be seen that the game will take place in the year 2575, decades after the events of “StarCraft” and “StarCraft II”. This, in turn, means that there will be no familiar characters in the game, except for the Protoss, who have been living for thousands of years.
Obviously, this is all just speculation at the moment, but the fact that some kind of action has already begun on the StarCraft website in the run-up to the Blizzcon 2026 event taking place on September 12-13 is in principle positive and worthy of attention.
From previous unofficial publications, we know that the new project in the StarCraft series will be a shooter. How relevant such an idea is today, when the gaming industry is openly saturated with video games of any genre and setting, is a matter of debate.
