Starcraft 2

I’m not sure that Blizzard will pay any attention to it but I can’t see how it can hurt either. I’ve signed it and I suggest you do the same. Here’s an abstract:

This petition is being started in the hopes that we, the people that have played Blizzard entertainment’s Starcraft PC game and its expansion pack, can spur the before mentioned company to make what we have been wanting them to make for a long time! And that being, either another expansion pack for Starcraft, or another separate and complete Starcraft game (i.e. Starcraft 2). The Starcraft game has no doubtingly made a lot of money for Blizzard entertainment! It has been sold world wide in great quantities! And so I’m extremely confident that another Starcraft game, or an expansion to its predecessor, will do just as well and make even more money for them! And it’s no doubt that us, the fans/customers of Blizzard entertainment, have told them what we’ve wanted by now too!

Back in August (2006), Paul Sams did an interview in which he stated that Blizzard has three product announcements in 2007.

One of them obviously is the World of Warcraft expansion which hit the stores on January 15. What about the others?

StarCraft is my absolutely favorite game of all time. As you probably already know, there is no doubt that we will continue the StarCraft and Diablo franchise, and trust me, I will be the happiest person in the world when we announce StarCraft 2.

According to IGN, while Sams wasn’t ready to spill the beans just yet, he did say Blizzard “will have a major product announcement in 2007,” and that Blizzard was currently working on at least three other unannounced titles at the moment.

Now that WoW is out of the way, it remains to be seen how Blizzard will play with the numbers. What’s next? Starcraft 2 or Diablo 3?

Updates: According to IGN, a Starcraft 2 beta will appear before the end of 2007. Also, there are recent rumors that Blizzard is preparing an official announcement on May 19 in Korea.
