StarCraft MMO

StarCraft Online is an applied name to a hypothetical Massive Multiplayer Online (MMO) game set in the StarCraft universe. The name is from the claim that Chinese online games operator NetEase had acquired the rights to make such a game.

Overview
In light of the success of Blizzard Entertainment's MMORPG World of Warcraft series, it has become common to question and speculate as to whether an MMO game would be developed for Blizzard's other major franchises of StarCraft and Diablo. While it is known that Blizzard is working on another MMO title, no information has been released as to what this game would entail.

Frank Pearce has commented that while a StarCraft MMO would be "cool", Blizzard's game development staff are spread thinnly throughout the projects that Blizzard is working on. An MMO for StarCraft is not something that exists on a short or even medium-term horizon.
