Blizzard does it again !
After last week Blizzard kept all the fans waiting for the announcement of their following project, finally saturday they stunned the fans by announcing the development of Starcraft 2.
The announcement was made during an event organized in Seul, South Coreea, in front of thousands of fans.
In their own words :
StarCraft II continues the epic saga of the Protoss, Terran, and Zerg. These three distinct and powerful races will clash once again in the fast-paced real-time strategy sequel to the legendary original, StarCraft. Legions of veteran, upgraded, and brand-new unit types will do battle across the galaxy, as each faction struggles for survival.
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.
All the 3 races will receive new units and gameplay mechanics, the game will have vibrant new 3D-graphics engine with support for dazzling visual effects and massive unit and army sizes, full multiplayer support, with new competitive features and matchmaking utilities available through Battle.net, and full map-making and scripting tools to give players incredible freedom in customizing and personalizing their gameplay experience.
The game will be available for PC and Mac with full support for Windows XP and Windows Vista, thus it will probably use OpenGL instead of DirectX 10.
