As Blizzard succinctly says on their own website, “Hell, it’s about time.” At the Blizzard World Wide Invitational event in Korea (where else), Blizzard has announced the long-awaited sequel to the mega-hit (and still addictively played by many!) Starcraft.
Featuring a unique single-player campaign that picks up where StarCraft: Brood War left off, StarCraft II will present a cast of new heroes and familiar faces in an edgy sci-fi story filled with adventure and intrigue. In addition, Blizzard will again offer unparalleled online play through Battle.net, the company’s world-renowned gaming service, with several enhancements and new features to make StarCraft II the ultimate competitive real-time strategy game.

Now, Blizzard, about that next Diablo sequel …
