StarCraft: Ghost

During the GameCube era, Blizzard was developing StarCraft: Ghost. The stealth-action game would have hit Nintendo’s older console along with other competing platforms. It sadly wasn’t meant to be, as the entire project was scrapped – though it wouldn’t be officially confirmed as cancelled until 2014.

All of these years later, we have a brand new look at Starcraft: Ghost. An old Xbox build has apparently leaked online from a dev kit and has started to spread. A couple of videos can be found below, but it’s expected that we’ll be hearing more about the project going forward now that a much wider group of people have access.

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:

StarCraft: Ghost went through a few different delays before Blizzard put the game on hold about a decade ago. But even after such a lengthy period of time, the company still seems interested in returning to the project “some day”.

VideoGamer spoke with Blizzard producer Alex Mayberry about StarCraft: Ghost, and was told that “the idea is still perfectly viable.” Still, the project probably won’t be revisited “any time soon.”
