The people behind StarCraft say that while nobodyās currently working on the infamously-delayed StarCraft: Ghost, thereās a chance that could change in the future.
Itās now been a decade since Blizzard first announced StarCraft: Ghost, and it has since become the poster child for indefinitely delayed video games.
The game sounded fantastic. It was to be a stealth-action hybrid for consoles in which youād control a Ghost, or sort of psychic super-spy named Nova. Youād have access to a number of weapons and psychic abilities, all ripped straight from the real-time strategy franchise. Blizzard promised that weād finally get a third-person, on-the-ground look at the plots and buildings that make up the world of StarCraft
Then Blizzard delayed it. And delayed it. And delayed it. Eventually, Blizzard put StarCraft: Ghost on official hold, moving their design teams to other projects like World of Warcraft and StarCraft II

So does this mean Blizzard has plans to resuscitate Novaās game?
āThere are no plans,ā Browder told me in a phone interview last week. āIām not saying we wonāt ever, but Iāll tell you what I do know: There are no meetings going on. There is no team. No one talks about doing it.
āIt doesnāt mean that in two years from now, we wonāt have those meetings, the team wonāt be formed, but there is literally nothing happening around that game right now that would indicate that thereās any likelihood that it will happen. Itās just as likely weāll do that again as Lost Vikings 3 or whatever. Thereās just no guarantees one way or the other, but nothing is happening.ā
So stay pessimistic. But know that StarCraft: Ghost might not be dead forever.
āWe are super huge fans of consoles. We love console gaming as players,ā Browder said. āI wasnāt really party to [the decision to put Ghost on hold] but I know it was a difficult decision.ā
