Blizzard today announced that StarCraft II will be released as a trilogy of separate games, each concentrating on one of the universe's three factions.

The first game in the trilogy will consist of the Terran campaign, and is set to be titled "Terrans: Wings of Liberty."

The second Zerg-focused title will be "Zerg: Heart of the Swarm," with the third game being "Protoss: Legacy of the Void."
"[The second and third games] will be like expansion packs, but we really want them to feel like standalone products," said Blizzard's Rob Pardo.

Each campaign will be very different, with Pardo announcing the Zerg campaign will contain RPG elements. The Protoss campaigin will likewise be differentiated by elements of diplomacy. In addition, the Terran campaign will feature a Protoss mini-campaign.

The campaigns are planned as concentrated, epic storylines, with enough content to justify a full release. As a result, the games will now feature more in-game cinematics and story content.

Blizzard added that the plans for the multiplayer component are unchanged by the splitting of the campaigns. However, some units will now be unique to the campaigns and will not be playable in multiplayer.

Pardo noted that the decision was necessary to maintain the quality of the product, the alternatives either being a long delay of the game, or a scaling back of the campaigns.

More details may become available during BlizzCon, which continues through this weekend.

If they could split Diabo II into 4 games, that would be fantastic.

I don't know if I should get starcraft 2 if I got bore of warcraft.

I'm guessing they going to split into 3 different parts so they can earn more?

There's more than just RTS in starcraft 1 already.

damn, I'm already pissed they are not considering on continuing the storyline that left off brood wars expansion, zerg-protoss could be so freaking awsome

That's actually really depressing. It would've been a heck of a lot better if they had just made it one game... and then made expansions for ALL of the campaigns... =\

Sounds cool. The more content the merrier! But RPG elements? Blech! Leave that sort of stuff to Warcraft. This is StarCraft.

I agree, but at least the RPG element will only be a part of the storyline and not in a melee match. I just cant picture starcraft having a rpg element system.

Some people will complain about 3 different games, but i dont mind it.

Wow, I bet Blizzard was like... HRM, how can we milk Starcraft 2 for more than its worth...

Ithian · 10-11-2008, 02:14 AM

Yeah sounds pretty dumb that they did that.. rather depressing actually. I 'll probably just buy the terran one and wait for fan base to give me the general impression of the other two.

i feel like its more laziness of completing the whole campaign series before sc2 comes out. They did have to send some people to work on the D3 project. They dont really need to milk as much money as they can from sc2 since WoW is a gold mine.
