StarCraft 2
StarCraft 2 was announced by Blizzard at its Worldwide Invitational event held in Seoul just over one and a half hours ago.
The game has not been finalized yet, but so far it looks just like what you would expect a sequel to StarCraft to look like. See the screenshots at IGN.com.
Timeline recently added to Blizzard’s index page
Originally the announcement today was speculated to be a StarCraft MMORPG due to sightings of Blizzard’s job posting for positions related to next-gen MMO game development, but apparently it turned out to be unrelated. Maybe for future additions to World of Warcraft?
Anyway, whatever the case is, StarCraft 2 is coming; South Korea’s productivity to drop by 70% in the next 5 years.

With the kind of expectations that people are placing on Starcraft 2, and the fact that the original Blizzard team is no longer with the company, it’s hard to imagine the game not ending up as a major disappointment to the majority of rabid fans worldwide.
