News - StarCraft II

Chris Sigaty, Lead Producer of StarCraft II, has stated that the idea of porting StarCraft II to consoles may be considered in the future.

"Console is not on the radar for us right now, but there have been a lot of interesting moves in that direction - taking RTS to consoles - and there's been some pretty cool things on the control side.

I still think that at least from our perspective it feels like the mouse and keyboard just lends itself to this style - but you know we're getting closer and closer all the time. So when we see that optimum moment I think it's certainly possible that we'll explore that junction as well. It's just not on the radar right now."

In the past, Blizzard Entertainment has stated several times that they have considered making console ports of their previous PC titles. StarCraft I was ported to the Nintendo 64 and Diablo I was ported to the Playstation I. Beyond those titles from the 90's, Blizzard has not opted to port any of their more recent PC games for the past decade. Even though we have not seen it happen for a long period of time, Blizzard has consistently reminded the public that the option is always a topic of discussion within the company. Future titles, such as StarCraft II or Diablo III, may yet find their way to current or next-generation consoles.
