Blizzard Confirms New Product Next Month!
"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.

sc2 has the most chance
Because they have neglected Starcraft the most, by far, and it still has a loyal fanbase.
they are working on the 1.15 patch for SC right?
would they patch an old game and release a new one? i think they might. actually that statement works for both SC and Diablo. 1.15 and SCII, 1.12 and DIII
What I've wondered is that surely by now they're so big, there would be a Blizzard North, East, South, West, all developing these different games. Or at least a North and South making Starcraft and Diablo.
I disagree.... I believe if DIABLO3 is release the fan base will have to be that of 17 year olds and up. Reason being DIABLO is a M rated game.
Point and case. Also notice blizzard isnt answing any of these SC2 questions. They are very good at throwing people off. Maybe they are letting it go around ebcause then when they announce in korea BOOM d3 NO ONE sees it coming.
Actually, Ghost looked good. I wanted to play that game really badly too...Plus, it would give Blizzard a chance to enter new genres. And if they can do it as well as they've been doing, well then, more power to them.
Doubt it, highly. One, it would have to be a spectacular game, which has yet to be seen. In fact, the existence of the game has yet to be seen. And even then, there would have to be some compelling reason for gamers to have to make a decision, in order for WoW to lose consumers.
I would like to see a new starcraft 2, though. 10 years...and no sequel!
Mind you thats i would asume thats DIABLO3 has more rome to be MMORPG but STARCRAFT2 has more of a MMOFPS like planet side....
My man!!! We got to start a rally...
Another thing. I like Wow and all I played the trial and some of the real deal, and it is awesome...
But Wow compared to Diablo is like Peter Pan compared to the Grim Reeper, I couldnt spring for it.
True......
Are you sure they werent saying "when we announce Diablo 3 please don't kill me"
Let me ask you this..
Do you think they chose to unvail it in korea?
Or they chose korea to unvail it?
so you say... " I do expect a Starcraft game though, even though i dont like it. Even simply cause its gonna be in Korea is reason enough",
that would mean you see it as they chose korea to unvail it?
this is an 3rd annual world wide event. This has been planned for months and next years is probubly planned already as well, or will be soon.
you need to look at it like this They Chose to unvail it in korea?
what ever it is
(I sure wish they would release a D2 patch these days:rolleyes: )
Newho... I've been playing Diablo I, II, and III on and off since my middle school days.. and im not in college.. so if Blizz doesn't release a D3, MMO or not, I'm gonna frikkin flip!!
Small question... when Blizzard announces games.. how long does do they tend to actually get them on the shelves after announcing?
Live D3!!! Live i say!!!
