GuildWarsInsider.com has looked at the numbers and has some theories on when NCSoft is going to announce the final profession as well as possibly beta.
$202 million deal expected to close at end of April 2026 as Korean games giant continues expansion into casual games market
New elite specializations and a fresh adventure on the magical and never-before-seen island of Castora - The sixth expansion launches on October 28!
Leading domestic game companies have entered into an unprecedented competition to win orders for Starcraft, Blizzard's representative IP (intellectual property).
Weird MS is letting go of a good IP. I don’t mind it but hopefully the best dev wins and I’m not sure who that is outbid those.
What they are bidding for are exclusive rights to develop the IP. Microsoft/blizzard is essentially licensing it out to the highest bidder, not selling the IP.
I wonder if we'll see Starcraft Ghost come out of this. And if we do, I wonder if it'll be a free-to-play gacha game.
Given the potential developers, looks inevitable there will be free to play gacha versions. But given south korea’s love for starcraft there would be one that is inline with starcraft 1&2.
Might want to expect some sort of backdoor cheat that only south koreans know of lol 🤣
I think it makes sense if they're wanting to keep up the hype about the game.
It is going to be hell at the moment to get any kind of hype with the recent console games releases and then that 900 pound gorilla called TOR. And then The Secret World launches beta after the holiday with a mere 4 months before going live. They had best have a damn good plan.
