Starcraft 2 announcement in Korea
There’s been a leak concerning the upcoming Blizzard’s World Wide Invitational (WWI) on May 19th in Korea.
According to insiders, there’s a definite possibility that Blizzard will choose this time to preview some content from the upcoming Starcraft 2. An ex-Blizzard employee has confirmed Starcraft 2 has been in development for some time and Blizzard are getting ready to start the hype machine.
I’m quoting directly from Korean (with translation), so you can make up your own mind.
( 스타크래프트2 )가 5월 19일 개최되는 블리자드 월드와이드 인비테이셔널(WWI)에서 전세계 최초로 공개된다.
StarCraft 2 will be revealed for the first time to the world at Blizzard’s World Wide Invitational (WWI) on May 19th.
25일 게임업계에 따르면 블리자드 엔터테인먼트 코리아(이하 블리자드 코리아)는 5월 19일 시작되는 WWI에서 <스타크래프트2>의 동영상과 게임 내용을 최초로 발표할 것으로 확인됐다. 또, <스타크래프트2> 핵심 개발자들이 현장에 참석해 질의응답 시간도 진행된다.
On the 25th, according to the game developers, it has been confirmed that Blizzard Entertainment Korea (aka Blizzard Korea) will present VODs and game content at the WWI that is starting on May 19th. Also, StarCraft 2′s main developers will also attend to answer some questions.
<스타크래프트2>는 3D로 개발되고 있으며, 새로운 종족이 추가되고 기존 종족의 유닛과 특성에 많은 변화가 있을 것으로 확인됐다. 이외의 자세한 내용은 WWI에서도 일부만 공개될 것으로 보인다.
It 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. Additional details will only be revealed to certain parts of WWI.
Starcraft 2 has been mentioned by three of Blizzard’s bosses: Mike Morhaime, Paul Sams and Itzik Ben Bassat, respectively being president, COO, and VP Biz Dev.
A word of caution though. Officially, Blizzard are NOT confirming anything at this point.
블리자드 코리아의 박영목 이사는 “차기작에 관해서는 현재 답변 드릴 내용이 없다. 차기작은 19일 WWI에서 발표할 것이다. 19일 현장에 와서 확인하기 바란다”며 <스타크래프트2>가 19일날 발표될 차기작임을 확인해 달라는 요청을 거부했다.
Blizzard Korea’s Park Young-Mok director said “There is not content available for answer for the sequel. The sequel will be released at the WWI on the 19th. Please confirm it at the site on the 19th” and denied the confirmation on if StarCraft 2 is indeed the sequel that is to be announced on the 19th.
This isn’t a susprise as Blizzard have a strong tradition of secrecy. Considering the impact Starcraft 2 could have on gaming (especially in Korea), Blizzard will need to make the most of the announcement, especially if they are going to announce a Starcraft 2 beta soon.
Update: Blizzard just posted a Diablo 3 teaser on their homepage.
Here's a couple of guides to help with your Starcraft - build orders, maps, units, tactics.
