After 10 years, Blizzard is ready to focus on the future of the StarCraft universe. The developer announced that it would no longer create new content for StarCraft II—a few months after releasing its most extensive update. The company's Vice President Bridebecker said it wouldn't be developing for-purchase, in-game content or expansions for the game. The company wouldn't abandon the game, though. There will still be season rolls and balance fixes for its dedicated fans and the competitive players. 

The StarCraft II esports is still "going strong," and it wouldn't disappear anytime soon. But Blizzard is stepping back from developing the game to focus on the StarCraft universe as a whole. But Bridenbecker didn't say if a new installment to the franchise is coming.

Blizzard celebrates 10th anniversary of 'StarCraft II' with anniversary update

Blizzard wants to celebrate StarCraft II's 10th anniversary by publicly testing an anniversary update. It offers new campaign achievements for every mission in the base game and its three expansions. The game will also let players create custom campaigns, which has helped keep its fans. The developer takes in some elements from Warcraft III's game editor to make it easier to use StarCraft II's map editor. 

StarCraft II is also getting a new transitioning lobby, allowing players to move quickly between two maps in multiplayer. There is also a new "Campaign" subsection in the game's variants menu. If some of these features seem familiar to you, Blizzard released a lot of these changes with update 4.13's public testing round last Tuesday.
