You’ll Fight The Protoss In StarCraft, Too, Don’t Worry

StarCraft's reveal trailer squarely put the focus on the Terrans, who later in the cinematic face a terrifying confrontation with the Zerg. The franchise's three franchises--including the Protoss--have always been a central element of what distinguishes StarCraft from other strategy games. Although the Protoss were effectively absent from the trailer, they are a foe you will face at some point. GameSpot spoke with GM and creative director Dan Hay at BlizzCon and asked him about how the three factions will interact with each other. Although he was expectedly coy on specifics, he did offer up some thoughts. "The answer to that question is I absolutely unequivocally can't say," Hay said. "But what I can do is tell you what I would want as a player. I'll hint at sort of not what we're doing, but some of the things that we think about. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIu2tGCCKQw&pp=0gcJCf4LAYcqIYzv "Of course, what you want to be able to do... you think about the Protoss and how reverent we are. They're older, and there's a mystique and a grandness to them, right? They have just a completely different flavor. Then you have the Zerg, and the Zerg are just numberless; they're infinite from the standpoint of they just overwhelm you with sheer organic power. Then you have the Terrans, that are this group of... they're working their way through the sector in kind of a haphazard and industrial way. We want that feeling. "We want it to not all just be one taste. So we want to have moments where you're fighting things that are organic, and then moments where you're fighting things that are this wonderful legacy and that are ancient. I want to tell you a lot more, but I can't." Hay did point out something that was easy to miss in the trailer: a small hint of the Protoss. "You saw more than the Zerg in the trailer," he said. "If you look a little deeper, there's a moment when the thing opens and you hear that great horn go off. If you look in the background—just in the background, adjust the lighting just a tiny bit—you'll see some architecture that is very not Terran and very not Zerg. It's there." Hay also confirmed a third-person perspective for StarCraft . While the trailer may not reflect gameplay, it does showcase one way that could impact the feel of the game, as we see the Terran soldier look up in terror at the size of a Zerg Overlord, something you ordinarily only see from an isometric camera view in past StarCraft games. He also said StarCraft will have a "single-player focus" and offered some insight into why the game was announced now despite arriving in 2030 .

The StarCraft Shooter Is A Third-Person Game, And Blizzard Insists That You Have To Feel “Powerful”

If you walked away from the StarCraft reveal excited for the franchise to return, but unsure what this new game even is, you're not alone. Aside from being described during the BlizzCon Opening Ceremony as an open-world shooter, Blizzard didn't share much else. In an interview with GameSpot, Blizzard GM Dan Hay provided a few more details, including the fact that it's a third-person game. The StarCraft franchise, having taken the form of real-time strategy games previously, has typically used an isometric perspective. When it came to choosing what perspective to offer in the new shooter, it sounds like it wasn't a difficult decision. "Oh, that's easy," Hay said when GameSpot asked him about whether StarCraft will be a first- or third-person game. "I want to be able to see my armor. First thing we did is we built it, put it on a turntable, and spun it around like, 'Ah, awesome, cool!' I want to be able to see it, so third-person, right? "That doesn't mean that we don't have the license to, in a couple of spaces, do a little bit different and whatnot, but third-person: You get to see your armor, you get to see the full weight of everything you have, and then you get to see stuff that's in my head that I can't tell you." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIu2tGCCKQw&pp=0gcJCf4LAYcqIYzv Hay spoke to us a great deal about the fantasy of having this armor to protect you. Asked about character progression or customization, he said, "If I was to get—in theory, hypothetically, purely hypothetically—this is what I would want: I would want to be able to make sure that my armor can be made better, stronger, and different. I would also want to be able to make sure that I could make it feel like mine. I would want it to be a visitation of the legacy of the things that I had done. I would want to show that it looked different from the first moment that I got it to the last moment I got it. So, read into that how much you will hypothetically, but that's what I would want as a player." "We have to make sure that we're thinking about—and I have to be careful not to talk about this too much—combat has to feel powerful," he added. "You're in this armor; you're a living tank. You have to feel powerful. When you hold that Gauss rifle, and the thing weighs something ridiculous, you have to feel like you're just pushing through the Zerg. The Zerg have to feel like those raptorial claws are going to shuck you like an oyster in that thing. So you have to feel the weight of all that. "We take that very seriously. We know that people who are out there are going to be going, 'The teaser was amazing, super cool, the story sounds great, but we want to see that combat. We want to feel those moments. We want to feel the exploration, the sense of discovery, and we also want to feel this notion of disruption—that when I go out into the world, it pushes back in a way that I wasn't expecting, and then I have to figure out a new way to play.' It's how our world works." Hay also revealed to us that StarCraft is a single-player game (or single-player is at least the focus ) and shared why Blizzard decided to reveal it so soon , given it won't be out until 2030.

StarCraft Reboot Is “Focusing On Single-Player,” Creative Director Says

StarCraft is "focusing on single-player," StarCraft creative director and general manager Dan Hay and associate manager of development operations Anna Lee Hertling said in an interview with GameSpot. One of the biggest announcements of BlizzCon 2026 was the return of StarCraft, described as an open-world shooter and slated for a 2030 release. Aside from its impressive reveal cinematic, there wasn't much additional information about how StarCraft would play or what the shooter reboot of the RTS franchise would entail. Now, we have some more details. When asked whether StarCraft would be single-player or co-op, Hay said the team is "focusing on single player." "We are focused right now on the conversation of focusing on single-player, focusing on that Marine fantasy, and then making sure that we think about what it is to be that character," Hay said. "That's what we're saying for now." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIu2tGCCKQw&pp=ygUSZ2FtZXNwb3Qgc3RhcmNyYWZ0 He said players will not create their own character but play a named character that can "build a reputation and a rapport" with other in-game characters. He said the game's story will have a beginning, middle, and an "end," and that Blizzard wants it to feel like a "boxed product." Thought it's story will have an end, Hay said Blizzard wants the game to be one players can visit, explore, leave, and come back to. "We like a named character, right?" Hay said. "When it comes down to this, we want to be able to make sure that what you have is a character that has a name, a character that people in the world can know. What it does it it makes the story have a little bit more life to it." Hay continued: "What you want to be able to do is have people--and I have to be super careful, Anna Lee will abosultey stop me if I talk too much about the story--but there's nothing...I think about a TV show like Deadwood, which is one of my top five favorites. What I love is the idea that all of those characters know each other and they have a reputation. You go in, and they know each other on a Tuesday; they know each other on a Thursday afternoon at like 3:08, right? What you want is to have a named character that can build a reputation and a rapport with these characters, and that we can have feel like they're part of this world." Other tidbits shared by Hay during the interview include the fact that StarCraft will be third-person rather than first, as well as why Blizzard decided to announce it now , four years in advance.

Blizzard Explains Why The StarCraft Shooter Coming In 2030 Was Announced Now

Thanks to rumors and reports, the announcement of a new StarCraft game taking the form of an open-world shooter did not come as a complete surprise at BlizzCon's Opening Ceremony . What is surprising is when it's coming: 2030. That's a long time from now, and we've heard other developers lament announcing their games too soon . So what made Blizzard reveal StarCraft so far in advance? "We totally get the question. You walk that kind of knife's edge of how much do we want to show, when do we want to show," Blizzard GM Dan Hay told GameSpot at BlizzCon. "We've been working on it for a little bit now, and we feel like we've got something that we wanted to show. We felt like this was the right moment. As we're building out the story, the characters, and kind of the feeling of the worlds that we're building, we felt like, 'You know what? We've got enough to show.'" Hay said that with Blizzard being confident in what it's developed so far, it didn't want to further delay going public and getting the benefit of putting it in front of fans. "There's a moment when you're making a game where you're like, 'Have we landed the emotion? Do we feel like we have enough of the verve, the identity, and the feel of it to start to share it?'" Hay continued. "About a year ago, we started to feel like we were there, so we were like, 'Okay, it's time to show it. It's time to get feedback.' "What's super important about it is you want to put it out there, get people to feel the emotion and the value of it, and you want to be there live to be able to get a sense of how they feel about it. We were in the room; it felt great. People were going nuts." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIu2tGCCKQw Feedback from fans at this point can only be surface level. Although we know the new game, known at least for now simply as StarCraft, is an open-world shooter, we've yet to see any gameplay--the reveal took the form of an extended cinematic setting up the vibe, but not tipping Blizzard's hand in terms of how it will play. Blizzard confirmed to GameSpot that StarCraft will be a third-person, single-player game, but that's not much to go on. Still, Hay said he sees value in attaching a date to the project and having developers examine their decision making through that target. "Yeah, we also know that the date of 2030 is one of those things where--I like a date," Hay said. "I like the idea that there's something out there for us to go after. It helps us sometimes when you get into a meeting and you're thinking about the creative, and you go, 'All right, well how long are we going to wax poetic on this? How long are we going to think about this?' The answer is, 'Can we get all this done by that date?' If the answer is no: Let's rethink, let's refocus, and let's make sure we're thinking about players wanting to get this at the highest level of fidelity possible, but in a reasonable amount of time. That's why we picked that date." A new StarCraft game that currently feels out of reach isn't a new thing; StarCraft: Ghost infamously was in development for ages but ultimately never came out. Although Hay was not at Blizzard during that era (he spent many years working on the Far Cry franchise at Ubisoft), we asked what Blizzard could take away from Ghost in order to avoid repeating that situation. Although he had little to say about that, he did share more about Blizzard's vision for the new StarCraft. "I think our focus is we're building a new team. We've got a whole bunch of energy to it from the standpoint of this really comes from what we call a creative ache, right?" Hay said. "We really started with--when you think about the genesis of it--what's the story we want to tell? How do we want to make this game unique and different? The answer is, in previous versions of StarCraft, you were up above, looking down at the battlefield, and you had the deployment of many Marines and many different factions. This time, we were like, 'What if it was just one? What if you only got one suit? What if you had to take care of it?' "We use the analogy of: You know that first time you get your first car? The first car was probably not great, but it was amazing because it was your first car. What happens when you get this thing and you have to take care of it? What happens when you start to see a world that has opportunity and discovery, but things that you can also pick up and maybe make your armor better? How do you go out into the world and start to take care of this thing and push against it? "Then you start to think about, 'Wait a minute, I'm in this armor.' You saw it in the teaser: The character in the teaser gets the armor and is feeling super powerful and everything, and it's a 10-foot-tall thing that weighs a thousand pounds. You think, 'There's nothing that I can't beat.' Then you watch his face as the doors open, and you hear that growl of the Zerg. You watch his face--and we spent a ton of time just on the facial expression--of just loss, just the understanding of the distance between what we believe we can do and the reality of what life teaches us. We captured all that in that moment on his face of, 'I might be in trouble here.' But he put up a valiant effort. "Then you realize: Okay, our story is darker. It's grittier. It's a little bit meaner; it has more stakes and more bite to it. So we thought that that was a great place to start: Put your boots on the ground and say, 'Can you do better than the character in that teaser?'" Stay tuned for more from our interview with the team leading the new StarCraft project.
