    They had won a bidding war back in April 2025. It's taken quite a while to hammer out that contract.

    The top brass at Nexon have been fascinated by StarCraft for a long time. Personally, I'd love a starcraft sequel. I'd also love if they made a sequel to Shattered Galaxy but with the StarCraft IP.

    This is the same company that is charging $59.99 for Founder's Packs which would give customers early access to MapleStory Classic World for two weeks before its official launch. Now I get it,...

    Now I get it, they made Shattered Galaxy and their home country loves the franchise to the point of treating it like a televised sport. But licensing StarCraft out to Nexon doesn't bode well for me.

    They are up there with EA, Supercell and Take Two Interactive as the four horsemen of greedy publishers.

    Shattered Galaxy x Starcraft crossover. Make it happen. Unfortunately, I think Shattered Galaxy went with KRU whenever that split/spin-off happened.
