Blizzard has a number of cult licenses in its catalog. StarCraft is one of them. And if fans haven’t had a new installment in a while, it could have been with StarCraft: Ghost, a third-person shooter.
When Blizzard Entertainment out Diablo 3 on consoles, this was the studio’s first game on these platforms. That said, in case you didn’t know, in 2002 Blizzard had attempted to launch on console with its license StarCraft. To do this, the studio set out to develop a third-person shooter, StarCraft: Ghost. Unfortunately for fans, the game has never been released. A video surfaced today, the opportunity to discover more.
Here’s what StarCraft could have looked like: Ghost
Today, thanks to a leaked video, we can get an idea of what this game could have looked like, and in a quality worthy of the name, in HD 720p. Obviously, if we look at the video below with our eyes today, we will say that the game is far from current standards but put in the context of the 2000s, this gameplay could have offered something very player friendly.
A third-person shooter for consoles
Blizzard originally announced StarCraft: Ghost in 2002. In other words, 18 years ago. This game was to mark the studio’s foray into the console game scene and at the same time, offer an alternative and a deeper dive into the universe of StarCraft, a game which, at the time, was mainly known as real-time strategy game. That said, a few years after its official announcement, the game was put on hold for an indefinite period. In 2014, Mike Morhaime confirmed that the development of the game had been canceled. It would have been interesting to see what this opus could have given if it had been marketed. Yet another project killed in the bud.
