StarCraft 2 Will Be Available As a Trilogy

November 28, 2008 · Filed Under Gaming, General

The first person experience/campaign for StarCraft 2 for Terrans, Protoss and Zerg will not be available in one box.

Instead, Blizzard will offer each in a separate product, a trilogy. The first one will be StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty for the Terrans. A lot of comments and feedback from fans of the game called Blizzard “money grabbing @$$-hats”

“We’re aiming to push the boundaries of storytelling and character development in RTS games through the unique single-player campaign design of StarCraft II,” said Blizzard.

After the Terran campaign, the Zerg will most likely follow and after that, the Protoss.

Here’s the scoop from IGN:

The long-awaited return of StarCraft has been rumored for years, and now is finally official — Blizzard officially announced on May 19, 2007 the sequel to its incredible strategy title Starcraft.

Designed to be the ultimate competitive real-time strategy game, StarCraft II features 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 also featurse a custom 3D-graphics engine with realistic physics and the ability to render several large, highly detailed units and massive armies on-screen simultaneously.

Each chapter of Starcraft II focuses on a specific faction of the Starcraft war. By splitting the game, players will access more story content, more characters, and more customization as the explore each side of the conflict.

FEATURES

Each chapter of StarCraft II includes a unique single-player campaign
Custom-designed, fast-paced online play through an upgraded version of Blizzard’s renowned online gaming service, Battle.net
Includes a powerful, full-featured map editor that will put the same tools used by Blizzard’s designers into the hands of players

@post:
Blizzard has always cranked out games worth purchasing so even if SC II spans 5 separate games I’m still buying (the originals, not pirated ones).

I never really got into the whole Starcraft thing, but I do know that it’s Korea’s national sport.

Kidding aside, SC2 is going to print money for Blizzard no matter if it comes in three or seventeen DVDs. Fans are just going to chew it up.

Starcraft 2 will be a trilogy :

- Because if we were to wait for blizzard to finalize the content for all the campaigns, it’ll take years before SC2 gets released

- Each of the campaign will have enough content to be branded as a separate game

- “Warhammer: Dawn of War” got away with it

Why SC progamers won’t care

- SC2 Wings of Liberty is enough to play multiplayer. New multiplayer units that will be introduced (if any) when the zerg and protoss campaigns get released will also be available for SC2WoL Multiplayer mode.

Why SC progamers will care

- Battle.net 2.0, HELL IT’S ABOUT TIME! LAN Latency ftw

- More noobs to eat on bnet
