Blizzard Teases StarCraft-Themed Open-World Shooter in Development

Blizzard is reportedly working on an open-world shooter, potentially a Starcraft FPS, as suggested by a new job listing and past reports. The listing seeks a Design Director of Innovation for an unannounced game, hinting at a large-scale FPS project. This aligns with earlier rumors of a Starcraft shooter led by former Far Cry 5 director Dan Hay. Blizzard has a history of attempting Starcraft shooters, with previous projects like Starcraft Ghost and Ares being canceled. The new project could mark Blizzard's third attempt at a Starcraft spin-off.

Redfall Review: A Disappointing Horror Shooter.

Redfall, the latest game from Arkane Studios, fails to live up to the legacy of Stephen King's Salem's Lot and other popular vampire fiction. The game's narrative is unevenly delivered, and its roots in King's novel and vampire fiction are buried beneath layers of distraction. Redfall's heroes are battling overwhelming odds, but their supernatural powers and the game's dimwitted enemies position the rebels less as bedraggled freedom fighters than as a Red Dawn-style militia hitting back with nearly equal resources. Redfall doesn't do enough to center its best qualities, putting its plot too far in the background of a dull open-world shooter.
