GameCube nearly got a new StarCraft title before the entire project was scrapped. Blizzard had been working on StarCraft: Ghost for a couple of years, but the project just never came together.
In an interview with VG247, Blizzard co-founder Mike Morhaime spoke about having to cancel the third-person action game. Although it was a difficult decision, the move freed up team resources and ensured that other titles inside the company could thrive.
Morhaime said:
Wolfenstein: Youngblood is now available to pre-load from the eShop. By doing so, you can purchase the game in advance and download its required data. The title takes up 20.6GB of space.
Youngblood is slightly smaller than the previous Wolfenstein game. Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus is a 22GB download on Switch.
Wolfenstein: Youngblood launches on July 26.
