I just found out today that the folks at Blizzard finally decided to publicly announce that they are working on the next version of Starcraft. I mean, that was to be expected, 10 years have passed since Starcraft appeared and it looked like they were never going to give us a sequel.

The good news is that all the wonderful races are still here. The bad news is that the Zerg, Protoss and Teran are alone, no other races have been announced.

The official site has screenshots, movies and information about the next release of Starcraft. The website also hosts an extremely good game trailer, in good old Blizzard style and quality.

I for one can’t wait to play Starcraft II, although I think I’m gonna have to buy a new PC.

The game will be released sometime next year (or so they say) and a beta will be available at the end of this year.

Until then, see you on Battle.net (in the rare occasions when I have time for a quick game).
