Every Shot Matters is a first-person shooter-puzzle hybrid set in the StarCraft universe, released for PC in March 2023. The game represents Blizzard's attempt to translate the real-time strategy franchise into an immersive first-person perspective.
According to creative director Dan Hay, tension formed the foundation of the design philosophy, with the goal of making each player action feel consequential. The approach marks a significant departure from StarCraft's traditional top-down strategy gameplay, challenging the team to preserve what makes the franchise compelling while adapting it for a fundamentally different viewpoint and mechanical framework.
