"Not only StarCraft, but WarCraft, when you think about the heritage of RTS games that we're talking about here, specifically from Blizzard."
Whilst he was very careful not to commit to anything or give too much away, Spencer said that whilst he didn't"have any concrete plans today" and"can't really get in and work with the teams" just yet, he acknowledged that"StarCraft was a seminal moment in gaming":"from an esports perspective, from RTS on console perspective, and from just an RTS storytelling perspective in the genre".
"I'm excited about getting to sit down with the teams at Activision and Blizzard and King to talk about back catalogue and opportunities that we might have," he added."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.
. Earlier this week, Spencer pledged to keep releasing Call of Duty games on Sony's consoles"as long as there's a PlayStation out there to ship to". The future of Call of Duty on PlayStation has become a contentious topic for regulators such as the UK's Competition and Markets Authority , which is currently scrutinising Microsoft's planned $68n takeover of COD publisher Activision Blizzard.Get your first month for £1 when you buy a Standard Eurogamer subscription.
