Big news today for Blizzard fans!

"It took a good day of calls and emails, but Blizzard just got back to us about the rumor floating around that Starcraft 2 will be announced next month during their World Wide Invitation in Seoul, South Korea.

According to a Korean website, StarCraft 2 is being developed in 3D with a new race and lots of changes for existing units. The site went on to say that additional details would be revealed during Blizzard's WWI on May 19th in Seoul.

When reached for comment today this was Blizzard's official response:

We do intend to announce a new product at the Worldwide Invitational next month in Korea, and we appreciate the enthusiasm and interest in getting an advance look at what that will be, but players will have to wait until May 19th to find out more. Also, we have a very strong connection with the characters and settings of StarCraft, and we do plan to revisit that universe at some point in the future, but we don't have anything new to announce in that regard at present.

So that's a yes on a StarCraft 2, eventually, and a yes to a product announcement next month. The only question now is are they one in the same. " -Brian Crecente, from Kotaku.

So what do you guys think? A lot of people still believe it's gonna be Starcraft (which would be fine too because, honestly, who wouldn't love to see that game revisited just as much as Diablo?) but after a statement like that, I'm thinking it's gonna either be an announcement for Diablo 3 or a completely new Blizzard title. If it's not a Diablo or Starcraft game, I'm putting my money on TacoCraft.

Alright, let the speculation begin! May 19th simply cannot come soon enough.

Please tell me this is a joke !!

If this is real OMGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cannot wait !!!!!! Wow I am so excited
Apr 28, 2007 6:22 am
it wont be another wow expansion i guess, becuz its too early for it.Many ppl have been waiting for diablo 3 for a long time(including me),i think they would announce it if it would come(months or years earlier), but starcraft didnt have any expansions for a long time , exept brood war. so my guess goes for starcraft. i think itll be starcraft 2

don't worry private server will come too just likw WoW
Apr 28, 2007 4:07 pm
private servers are never so good as the official servers,private servers ruin the game experience.i suggest, never play any games on private servers.the official is always better.

Well given that they would already have most of the full size 3D models, textures, and animations for the Starcraft world from Ghost, and that they could easily just use the same game engine from WoW, I wouldn't be surprised if they came out with a WoS game. I personally don't play WoW (I want to, but I unfort. just don't have time for that much of an addiction :p ), so I'm sure I wouldn't play WoS either. Still, an interesting possibility. Of course, I'd rather see a Diablo 3, or even better, a new game/franchise. Blizzard does everything well, so I wouldn't doubt that a new franchise would be just as cool as previous/current ones.
