IGN said:
Blizzard Entertainment today unveiled StarCraft II, the sequel to its award-winning real-time strategy game StarCraft, at the 2007 Blizzard Worldwide Invitational event in Seoul, South Korea. The announcement took place inside the Olympic Gymnastics Arena, in front of thousands of attendees, who received a presentation that included a StarCraft II cinematic trailer and a gameplay demonstration by the development team.

Designed to be the ultimate competitive real-time strategy game, StarCraft II will feature the return of the Protoss, Terran, and Zerg races, overhauled and re-imagined with Blizzard's signature approach to game balance. Each race will be further distinguished from the others, with several new units and new gameplay mechanics, as well as new abilities for some of the classic StarCraft units that will be making a reappearance in the game. StarCraft II will also feature a custom 3D-graphics engine with realistic physics and the ability to render several large, highly detailed units and massive armies on-screen simultaneously.

"With StarCraft II, we'll be able to do everything we wanted to do with the original StarCraft and more," stated Mike Morhaime, president and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. "We recognize that expectations are high following the long-running popularity of the original game, but we plan to meet those expectations and deliver an engaging, action-packed, competitive experience that StarCraft players and strategy gamers worldwide will enjoy."

StarCraft II will include a unique single-player campaign, as well as fast-paced online play through an upgraded version of Blizzard's renowned online gaming service, Battle.net®. In addition, the game will come with a powerful, full-featured map editor that will put the same tools used by Blizzard's designers into the hands of players.

Blizzard is developing StarCraft II for simultaneous release on the Windows® and Macintosh® PC platforms. Further information about the game, including details on the single-player, multiplayer, and map-editor features, as well as system requirements, pricing, and availability, will be announced in the months ahead. To learn more about StarCraft II, please visit the official website at StarCraft II.

I heard it was slated for 2009, but it's hearsay as I saw it in guildchat, I think.

Eh, release is rumored to be 2008 on Wikipedia, but none of the references show where Blizzard has stated that.

Considering it's still pre-Alpha, I'd bet more on 2009.

How are Blizzard with anniversary games and what not? Because if 2009 is 11 years since the previous Starcraft, they might decide to release it in 2008, for the game's 10th Anniversary.

I don't recall anniversary games except for like the WC2 Battlechest, I think. Blizz is notorious for delaying games forever, is all.

You know I was kind of hoping for Diablo 3... I have such great memories of playing Diablo 2. I don't know if I have the devotion it takes to be a competetive player in SC2.

I'm still looking forward to it though.

Diablo 3 would be better IMO. World of Starcraft would be cool. First person MMO =P.

AAAAAARGH!! STARCRAFT 2! The Blizzard are cruel gods indeed, they deliver us one wonderful curse after another (not exactly.)
This... Hell, it's about time.

(It think it is about time to make "Hell, it's about time" a (forced) meme, if it isn't one already)

I need to read the story behind it. As to why there are so few dragoons left, etc.
