There was a rumor that started up last summer that supposedly StarCraft 3 was in development, but I think it was just from a single source and it didn't really seem very credible. But not to mention, pretty much all of the RTS devs that made Blizzard, Blizzard have all since left the company. In fact quite a few of the devs who worked on Blizzard RTS games are at this studio working on Stormgate called Frost Giant. Little on the nost on the studio naming lol.
But there's more to Stormgate and StarCraft than just multiplayer comparisons. I'm a huge campaign and co-op player, so being able to experience an entirely new world, lore, and story is a very exciting prospect by itself. But also it's not just some of the core gameplay of StarCraft that's in Stormgate. They're also incorporating a lot of Warcraft's core gameplay. StarCraft is very macromanagement focused whereas Warcraft is very micromanagement focused, and the devs have made it clear they're looking to go for a fine line between both to where it feels familiar but new.
There's also a lot of modern technology being added in Stormgate that the devs call Snowplay that adds features such as rollback netcode and 32 player support that previous RTS games just don't have.
Here's a brief overview of the tech at 1:16-1:57 of the video
One thing I definitely miss though is the presentation. Nothing beat Blizzard's cinematics and polish. I really hope StarCraft 3 one day happens, but the company doesn't even talk about the franchise anymore lol. I remember last Blizzcon, the then President was getting everyone hyped by talking about World of Warcraft, Diablo, and Overwatch. Someone in the audience yelled out StarCraft and he just laughed it off lol
