The era continues to pack its bags: Blizzard has announced that it will end its active support for StarCraft 2.
What will happen
with StarCraft 2
October won't be remembered by StarCraft 2 fans for death.games. The project will continue to live, but Blizzard will no longer release paid add-ons. The game will continue to be supported with patches with balance changes and season updates.
E-sports tournaments will also continueexist since Blizzard recently betrayed the management of the ESL and DreamHack competitions. However, the company will continue to support the tournament prize fund for about three more years.
According to Vice President Rob Bridenbecker,StarCraft remains one of Blizzard's main franchises, so the company does not plan to throw the universe into the closet. Breidenbecker noted that by giving up active support, the development team will have the strength to develop StarCraft as a whole.
“We understand that some players were interestedelements that will not be present in the game, but the good news is that the changes will allow us to plan for the future of not only StarCraft II, but the StarCraft universe as a whole,” writes Brindenbecker.
