Ghosts of the Past Trailer - StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty
This’ll be Blizzard’s third attempt at a Starcraft shooter. Nihilistic Software’s Ghost was announced in 2002, put on indefinite hold in 2006, then officially cancelled 8 years later in 2014. Ghost’s protagonist, Nova, eventually showed up inStarcraft 2as part of Project: Nova, a story expansion containing several single-player missions taking place after Legacy Of The Void.
More recently, another shooter named codenamed Ares wasrumoured to have been cancelledin 2019. It was ““like Battlefield in the StarCraft universe,” one sourcetold Kotakuat the time. “The team had built prototypes in which the player, as a Terran marine, could gun down Zerg aliens, and there were plans to experiment with playable Zerg as well.”
As for this new shooter, details seem fairly scant at the moment. It’s not Hay’s first game for Blizzard - he also worked onOdyssey, a survival project that wascancelled this January. The cancellation coincided with nearly 2000 people across Activision Blizzard, ZeniMax and Xbox teams being laid off.
StarCraft: Remastered and StarCraft 2: Campaign Collection arrived on game pass this week, if you somehow haven’t played the greatest RTS campaign in history, and also Starcraft 2.
