During yesterday's Xbox presentation as part of the Tokyo Game Show, we learned that the first two games of Blizzard's popular strategy franchise will come to Game Pass on November 5.

Today, however, there is a rumor started by well-known Bloomberg journalist and reliable source of information related to the industry, Jason Schreier. According to him, a new shooter title set in the StarCraft universe is in the works, he revealed this during the presentation of his new book about Blizzard called Play Nice: The Rise, Fall, and Future Of Blizzard Entertainment. As he also adds, the former editor of Ubisoft's Far Cry series is in charge of the project, he was previously associated with the project codenamed Odyssey, which has since been cancelled.

If Schreire's guesses turn out to be true, it would be the third time for Blizzard to try to make a game in this genre, because in 2005 they worked on the project StarCraft: Ghost, which even reached the playable stage and followed the story of the famous heroine Nova. The second attempt was a project codenamed Ares, whose fate was the same as Ghost's.
