It seems this dispute was at the heart of the end of those Netflix adaptations.<\/p>\n<p>Blizzard fans are now expressing their disappointment at what might have been, particularly for Overwatch, which seems tailor-made for an animated spin-off. Indeed the hero shooter has a number of impressive animated shorts already that flesh out its iconic characters\u2019 backstories. Imagine that on a bigger scale for Netflix.<\/p>\n<p>Then there\u2019s StarCraft, whose cutscenes and promos are some of the best in the business. A StarCraft adaptation might have been truly special.<\/p>\n<p>One Blizzard franchise conscious by its absence from Schreier\u2019s list is Warcraft, which had an ill-fated CGI-heavy movie of its own back in 2016. That movie, while at one point the highest grossing video game film of all time, did not enjoy enough success to spawn a sequel.<\/p>\n<p>Other revelations from Play Nice: The Rise, Fall, and Future of Blizzard Entertainment include yet another <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/blizzard-reportedly-working-on-a-starcraft-shooter-with-ex-far-cry-chief-dan-hay-at-the-helm\">StarCraft shooter<\/a> being in development, and that Blizzard staff unsuccessfully pitched WarCraft 4 and even a Call of Duty real-time strategy game.<\/p>\n<p>Blizzard is currently preparing to release Diablo 4 expansion <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/games\/diablo-iv-vessel-of-hatred\">Vessel of Hatred<\/a>, and has ongoing support for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/games\/overwatch-2\">Overwatch 2<\/a> and all-conquering MMO <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/games\/world-of-warcraft\">World of Warcraft<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/starcraft-remastered-and-starcraft-2-campaign-collection-confirmed-for-game-pass\">StarCraft: Remastered and StarCraft 2: Campaign Collection hit Game Pass in November<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Wesley is the UK News Editor for IGN.
