I find it odd that there is no official Starcraft II thread here. All I found was the
Starcraft thread and the
Starcraft 2 beta thread (there is no beta so don't bother) when I searched. So, I decided to make it for discussion about everything Starcraft II.
Earlier today at Blizzcon, it was announced that SC2 will be a trilogy. There will be three games released (1 main game and 2 expansions), each with their own full standalone single player campaign. Each campaign/game will revolve around one race. Each of the campaigns will tell a different side of the story ending with the same conclusion. The games will be as follows:
- Wings of Liberty - Terrans
- Heart of the Swarm - Zerg
- Legacy of the Void - Protoss
This will allow Blizzard to release the first game sooner and make everything more fleshed out. It also increases the potential for more units and gameplay mechanics. The downside is that it will be more money from us.
I'm satisfied with the choice Blizzard made. It allows the game to get to us faster (excluding balancing time), and we get more of it. I, for one, can never have too much Starcraft.
