StarCraft 2 is coming in 3D, announcement soon by Blizzard in Korea?

Best Seller Series: StarcraftIt has been confirmed that StarCraft 2 is being developed in 3D, a new race has been added and existing units’ characteristics will have many changes. Apparently trustworthy info is being leaked that confirms StarCraft 2’s development and announcement at the Blizzard’s World Wide Invitational (WWI) in Seoul, South Korea. More at the event on May 19-20, 2007.

Organizers of the two big StarCraft leagues in Korea comment. MBC Game’s Lee Sang-Ho head said “Frankly, it’s half anticipation and half worry. If StarCraft 2 is released in a form that is compatible with e-sports broadcast, there will be many new gamers and the entire industry will develop. However if it comes out in a form that is not easy to broadcast, like WarCraft 3, StarCraft fans will focus on the sequel while the original league will suffer a decline.”

OnGameNet’s StarCraft commentator Um Jae-Kyung said “Blizzard has probably already grasped the difference between this nation’s gamers and foreign gamers’ difference in inclination through WarCraft 3. So I’m hoping for a more balanced structure, a structure with e-sports in mind. However, I believe that the e-sports league will continue to focus on StarCraft and a new league focusing on StarCraft 2 will form, the industry growing bigger as a result. As a gamer, I’m really looking forward to it.”

Rumors suggest a beta is coming this year and Blizzard have hinted at a release in 2008. Nothing official yet, though. Eventually we made a StarCraft 2 walkthrough.
