“Hell.. It’s about time!”

That’s the quote from the marine near the end of the trailer for the newly unveiled StarCraft II video game from Blizzard Entertainment and that’s probably how every StarCraft fan feels around the world (including me!) Yes.. one of the best real time strategy games finally has it’s sequel folks.  Blizzard officially announced the new sequel in South Korea at the Olympic Gymnastics Arena  in front of thousands of fans – I suppose it’s fitting that South Korea gets the official announcement considering how popular the game is over there.

StarCraft II will feature the return of the three races – the Protoss, the Terran, and the Zerg. All three races are “overhauled and re-imagined” and you can expect further differences between the races as Blizzard has added several new units and new gameplay mechanics. StarCraft II will feature a custom 3D graphics engine with realistic physics and the ability to render several large, highly detailed units and massive armies on-screen simultaneously.

All sorts of goodies are available at Starcraft2.com including screenshots, artwork, wallpapers, and the cinematic trailer. The game will be released simultaneously on the Windows and Mac platform – but as of now there is no word as to when the game will actually be unveiled.
