Blizzard Entertainment has unveiled a preview of Starcraft II. For those with the patience and bandwidth to download their 449 megabyte video, you can see their preliminary vision of the improved Starcraft universe. The narrated demo is about 20 minutes long. The graphics are much improved and the capabilities of the various forces in the game are much improved.
Following the aborted attempt by Blizzard to enter the game console market with their never released Ghost game, Blizzard has decided to stick with the PC gaming market. Their website has indicated that there are no plans for a game console version.
No release date has been set yet but there is a good chance that Starcraft II will be under millions of Christmas trees this year.
Blizzard is also not confirming whether the story thread hinted at in the Brood War Expansion Pack will be the basis of the next story. In the expansion pack there was a bonus level that hinted that someone was experimenting with crossbreeding Zerg and Protoss races. Also there is no word what part Sarah Kerrigan will play is the sequel.
