Starcraft 2 is official
Yes, its official! Blizzard Entertainment seconds ago announced that StarCraft 2 is the new game. And it looks like an RTS according to the pictures atIGN
.
After a long night of waiting and speculating at Blizzard’s Worldwide Invitational, the world got the news they had been waiting for for almost a decade. Starcraft 2 is under development and the game is actually playable and is being showed live on screen at the South Korean Event…
We don’t have much information at this time apart from what is being showed at the video, but there appears to be several new Protoss units: Immortals, which have a shield that actives upon damage only, Colossals are huge Protoss units with dual laser guns. The Stalker unit can teleport and the Warprey is a flying unit.
For more details about the game play information, head over to IGN.
Terran reapers are also new units and many Zerg can teleport as well. So far nothing about a new race but the game appears to be in 3D according to this short game play demo. IGN reports that the whole game looks strikingly similar to StarCraft 1, just like the community have requested.
Here is the gameplay video
