Reports: Nexon Seeks StarCraft Sequel Rights from Blizzard

A Chosun report says Nexon is negotiating rights to develop a successor to StarCraft II. Multiple publishers pitched plans to Blizzard, with Nexon positioned as a frontrunner. Jez Corden states Microsoft is not selling the StarCraft IP outright. Earlier coverage from Wccftech described a potential full purchase, while Eurogamer framed the story as the next title possibly coming from outside Blizzard. The Korean source focuses on development rights rather than outright ownership transfer.
