Blizzard To Unveil StarCraft 2 At BlizzCon?
Blizzard recently announced that BlizzCon 2007 has been scheduled this August, on 3 and 4 of the month. Now everyone is wondering which franchise will be the star of this year's edition. StarCraft, perhaps?
The official announcement offers little info, but given the event's history, Blizzard is sure to come up with something interesting. The company used the 2005 event to announce World of Warcraft expansion The Burning Crusade. In 2006, Blizzard promised to make a major product announcement at the next BlizzCon edition.
According to recent rumors, the new star in Blizzard development line would be StarCraft 2:
“Blizzard will be releasing starcraft2, continuing story and background from the original and adding "kerrigan" race making total of 4. Each race will get around 2 new additional units, removable of unit limit (200/200), along with these info there is also news of beta version coming out end of the year.”
Such plans would make sense, as Blizzard has been neglecting this franchise for some time. On the other hand, don't act surprised if the announcement will have “Diablo 3” as a headline. Rumors about a third installment in the series have been flying around the Web for the last couple of years. I guess time will tell.
