After a long wait 'Starcraft' finally got a sequel. 'Starcraft 2' was announced and demonstrated in South Korea on May 19. This is a perfect place to announce the sequel for a very, very successful RTS. Koreans are well known for their passion for this game.
The game is quite well developed - pre-alpha version. Blizzard started development just after 'Warcraft III - Frozen Throne'. With a little bit of luck we can expect a release in 8-9 months but of course, the official release date is "when it's done".
gThere is plenty of video footage available on Starcraft 2 web site. The game is in a full 3D environment and units are very much the same as in the original Starcraft. There are some new units added for all three races and lets hope the balance of power will remain the same. So far, the Protos Mothership was demonstrated in videos and it is very powerful. I can't wait to see what is equivalent of it for Zerg!
Here you can see all videos from the demonstration combined in a single video with commentary. Trailers without commentaries are available on usual sites like YouTube, GameTrailers and others.
I really look forward to playing as mighty Zerg all over again!
