You would be forgiven for thinking that the question of whether an upcoming game is going to be exclusive to a platform or if it will be on multiple platforms was an easy one to answer. If you’re Blizzard, however, you would be oddly cagey in relation to its upcomingStarCraft shooter, at least according toanswers provided to Kotaku on the matter.
One of several follow-up questions sent to the studio asked about whether the game would be Xbox exclusive, as a UK social media account had reportedly stated. A spokesperson replied that they can “only say for now that StarCraft won’t be exclusive.” When pressed for additional clarification about whether that meant it would arrive to consoles, the spokesperson replied that if a story ran that called the game Xbox-exclusive, they would “have to ask me to correct [the] story.”
Presumably this means that PC is going to be among the platforms that the third-person shooter will arrive to, particularly considering the IP’s pedigree. But one thing is being made weirdly clear:It will not be Xbox exclusive.
