StarCraft could return in the future, although Blizzard is not sure about it

Since its launch in the 90s, the StarCraft franchise has established itself as one of the most iconic of Blizzard, especially in Asian markets like South Korea and China, where it enjoys an almost reverential status. However, after more than 15 years of waiting since the release of StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty in 2010, there are no clear signs that Blizzard is developing a new title in this popular series. The player community, while still active, does not seem to urgently require a new game, which has led to reflections on the future of the […]

Since its launch in the 90s, the StarCraft franchise has established itself as one of Blizzard’s most iconic, especially in Asian markets like South Korea and China, where it enjoys an almost reverential status. However, after more than 15 years of waiting since the release of StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty in 2010, there are no clear indications that Blizzard is developing a new title in this popular series. The player community, while still active, does not seem to urgently require a new game, which has led to reflections on the future of the franchise.

StarCraft wants to return with the help of renowned companies

With a growing demand for new content related to the StarCraft universe, various companies have expressed their interest in developing a new title. Among them are major players in the industry such as NC Soft, Nexon, Krafton, and Netmarble, well-established organizations with a significant track record in creating successful video games.

The potential for the transfer of rights by Blizzard could set a worrying precedent. If the company decided to allow another developer to take charge of such an iconic franchise, questions would arise about the future management of other intellectual properties of the company. Furthermore, Blizzard’s recent acquisition by Microsoft could influence its willingness to collaborate with third parties to monetize its properties, a change that would have previously been seen as unacceptable.

With the increase of companies interested in reviving StarCraft and the financial backdrop that Blizzard is now facing, the moves made around this saga will be closely watched by fans. Rumors suggest that this strategy could not only benefit the franchise but also serve as a new source of income for the new corporate structure under Microsoft.

A game of the latest anime suddenly appears out of nowhere

Solo Leveling didn’t have a video game adaptation… until now, as an anime adaptation for mobile devices and PC has been announced.

Some anime never go out of style. They achieve such deep and lasting success that they always seem to be in the discussion of the general public. That’s the case with Solo Leveling, a web novel and manwha written by Chugong that has been continuously successful since its serialization began in 2016 on Kakao Kakao Page. And while it lacked a video game adaptation, that may not be for long.

Solo Leveling: Arise DOWNLOAD

Last night, Solo Leveling Arise was announced, almost by surprise. An action RPG based on the popular anime that will put us in the shoes of Sung Jinwoo, seeking to level up to become the most powerful person in the world. Unfortunately, we can’t say much more about it. With a trailer of just over a minute where only a few seconds of gameplay can be seen, it aesthetically appears to be extremely faithful to the anime.

What we do have more details about is its developers. The first adaptation of Solo Leveling to a video game is being handled by Netmarble. This is a Korean studio specialized in mobile game development, which in its origins worked extensively on the development of MMORPGs. Some of their most popular games are anime adaptations, such as Tower of God: New World or Seven Deadly Sins: Grand Cross, although their most popular game is Arena of Valor, a MOBA indebted to the legacy of League of Legends.

Solo Leveling, on the other hand, puts us in the shoes of a young man with magical powers named Sung Jinwoo who, after seeing his entire group practically annihilated, receives a peculiar power from an entity calling itself The System: the inability to team up with anyone, but the ability to level up without limits. Something that serves as a premise for a series of endless battles while discovering the truth behind his world, and that serves as a perfect excuse to shape an action role-playing game.

With an approximate release date set for May 8th, you can pre-register to try it out upon release on the Apple Store, on Google Play, or on PC. This will ensure that you can start playing from the first minute of its release.
