The long-awaited real-time strategy game from Blizzard Entertainment, “Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty,” now has an official release date: July 27.
The sequel to the 1998 hit “Starcraft” once again pits three races against one other: Terrans, the Zerg, and the Protoss. It’ll offer a single-player game as well as a revamped Battle.net matchmaking system. The original game shipped more than 11 million copies, including one expansion, “Brood War.”
StarCraft II will run on a vibrant new 3D-graphics engine capable of rendering beautiful landscapes as well as massive army sizes. The speed, responsiveness, and epic-scale battles that made the original StarCraft such a memorable game are all realized in 3D with this brand-new engine.
