Blizzard Confirms New Product, May Be Starcraft 2

Posted by Zonk on from the new-is-always-good dept.

darkhitman writes "According to a Kotaku post yesterday, Blizzard has confirmed that they'll announce a new product at their World Wide Invitation in Korea next month. The statement issued by Blizzard verified that they 'do intend to announce a new product [...] next month" and "plan to revisit [Starcraft] at some point in the future,' but did not confirm the rumor that the new game would be Starcraft 2 — but we can certainly hope."

    Blizzard announces World of Starcraft... And a feeling as if a million nerds cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced.

    Really... take half a statement, add another (irrelevant to the first) half statement, and you have a totally irrelevant headline for a /. article.

    A certain company is Releasing "FOO" somewhere set to Release at a yet uncertain date.

    No details are as of yet released, but rumour has it that it *might* be the highly anticipated s equal to their previous bestseller "BAR"

    More details at eleven.

      In South Korea, only old people wait for the next release of Starcraft.

  7. Another expansion pack by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Funny

    I bet they'll introduce the new "World of Starcraft" with an expansion pack for WoW. Just when a new guild is about to take down Kel'Thuzad for the first time, and a voice will come out of no-where and announce "Nuclear Launch Detected".

    Since Korea is the worldwide capitol of Starcraft players.

    Though it's completely off-topic, I'd like to correct you on your use of "capitol". The correct word you're looking for is capital (derived from the Latin word "caput", meaning "head"), unless Starcraft is somehow very political in nature.

    I'm voting for "Sector of Starcraft". It's got alliteration, it doesn't rip off "Galaxy" from SWG, and nerds will dig it.
