Phil Spencer has said he’s keen to sit down with Blizzard to discuss potential opportunities for its classic RTS games such as StarCraft.
“The first thing I would say is, I’m not allowed to make any decisions about what happens at Blizzard oror King,” he replied. “So this is all just kind of talking and thinking about what the opportunity is, but you’re absolutely right.
“Not only StarCraft, but WarCraft, when you think about the heritage of RTS games that we’re talking about here, specifically from Blizzard. And I don’t have any concrete plans today because I can’t really get in and work with the teams.“But StarCraft was a seminal moment in gaming, right? From an esports perspective, from RTS on console perspective, and from just an RTS storytelling perspective in the genre.
He added: “And I’m excited about getting to sit down with the teams at Activision and Blizzard and King to talk about back catalog and opportunities that we might have. “So I will dodge the question other than to say it’s not something I can actively work on right now. But the thought of being able to think about what could happen with those franchises is pretty exciting to me, as somebody who spent a lot of hours playing those games.”
