StarCraft 2 A Trilogy

11 October 2008 — arcticavenger

StarCraft 2 Now A Trilogy, Three Campaigns to Be Split Into Separate Games

Blizzard today announced that StarCraft II will be released as a trilogy of separate games, each concentrating on one of the universe’s three factions.
The first game in the trilogy will consist of the Terran campaign, and is set to be titled “Terrans: Wings of Liberty.”

The second Zerg-focused title will be “Zerg: Heart of the Swarm,” with the third game being “Protoss: Legacy of the Void.”

“[The second and third games] will be like expansion packs, but we really want them to feel like standalone products,” said Blizzard’s Rob Pardo.
Each campaign will be very different, with Pardo announcing the Zerg campaign will contain RPG elements. The Protoss campaigin will likewise be differentiated by elements of diplomacy. In addition, the Terran campaign will feature a Protoss mini-campaign.

The campaigns are planned as concentrated, epic storylines, with enough content to justify a full release. As a result, the games will now feature more in-game cinematics and story content.

Blizzard added that the plans for the multiplayer component are unchanged by the splitting of the campaigns. However, some units will now be unique to the campaigns and will not be playable in multiplayer.

Pardo noted that the decision was necessary to maintain the quality of the product, the alternatives either being a long delay of the game, or a scaling back of the campaigns.

More details may become available during BlizzCon, which continues through this weekend.

I don’t mind the game beeing a Trilogy (yeah, well the first “Epsiode” will be with the Terran’s, faction witch I am found of). Things should get interesting.

Also, those people that got to attend BlizzCon 2008, got a SC2 Beta key (I HATE YOU ALL).

What els happend there ? Well…

Blizzard said there working on Warcraft 4.

People got to play Diablo 3.

Oh, and the Warcraft movie will not be finished in 2009. The boys at Blizz saying they still have a lot of work for it.
