Blizzard Tells us to Wait for Starcraft 2


"Should've stuck to Starcraft." The announcement Blizzard promised us was Starcraft II.

The low-down:

  • No Release Date.
  • RTS (not MMO).
  • For PC & Mac. No Console version.
  • Same races. New Units.

Selected Quotes (From Press Release and Game FAQ):
  • Designed to be the ultimate competitive real-time strategy game...
  • StarCraft II will include a unique single-player campaign, as well as fast-paced online play through an upgraded version of Blizzard's renowned online gaming service, Battle.net®
  • At this point, it's too early to provide an initial estimate on the release date. As with all Blizzard games, we will take as much time as needed to ensure the game is as fun, balanced, and polished as possible.
