The sleeper has awakened! It’s hard to believe – but it’s been nearly 10 years since the release of Blizzard’s Starcraft, a real-time strategy game for the PC that many consider to the be one of the greatest games ever made. Now, as part of its Worldwide Invitational event in South Korea, Blizzard has announced the game everyone has been demanding: Starcraft II.
Designed to be the ultimate competitive real-time strategy game, StarCraft II will feature the return of the Protoss, Terran, and Zerg races, overhauled and re-imagined with Blizzard’s signature approach to game balance. Each race will be further distinguished from the others, with several new units and new gameplay mechanics, as well as new abilities for some of the classic StarCraft units that will be making a reappearance in the game. StarCraft II will also feature a custom 3D-graphics engine with realistic physics and the ability to render several large, highly detailed units and massive armies on-screen simultaneously.
