It's official, ladies and gentlemen: Blizzard's StarCraft II is now a trilogy.
You heard it right: three separate standalone single-player campaigns have been laid out for the sequel to Blizzard's best-selling real-time strategy title.
At BlizzCon '08 in Anaheim, Blizzard's Rob Pardo admitted that StarCraft II was already shaping up to be an undertaking far larger than the previous game. Wings of Liberty- the first game in the Starcraft II series- will focus on the Terrans. We just might actually get to see some closure for Jim Raynor and Kerrigan, two of our main characters from the original StarCraft game.The second and third installments are Heart of the Swarm, which deals with the Zerg, and Legacy of the Void, which is dedicated this time to the Protoss.
According to Pardo, every one is going to be a full standalone campaign (as opposed to two expansions to one standalone StarCraft game) with 26 to 30 missions apiece. Each of the three will still have multiplayer components, and while a game might have its own set ending, but Pardo was quick to assure attendees that the middle part of the game have been designed to accomodate player choices.
No word, however, on when the first game in the StarCraft II trilogy will be out in stores.
So get ready to fork over some more cash to Blizzard just to get your StarCraft fix, ladies and gentlemen.
Cheers, everyone!
