Starcraft 2 is Now a Trilogy
Today, Blizzard has announced that Starcraft 2 will be split into three seperate games… one for each race’s campaign.
The first game in the trilogy will consist of the Terran campaign, and is set to be titled "Terrans: Wings of Liberty."
The second Zerg-focused title will be "Zerg: Heart of the Swarm," with the third game being "Protoss: Legacy of the Void.""[The second and third games] will be like expansion packs, but we really want them to feel like standalone products," said Blizzard’s Rob Pardo.
Each campaign will be very different, with Pardo saying the Zerg campaign will contain RPG elements. The Protoss campaigin will likewise be differentiated by elements of diplomacy. In addition, the Terran campaign will contain a Protoss mini-campaign.
Blizzard added that nothing has changed for the multiplayer plans. Each game is planned as a concentrated, epic storyline, with enough content to justify a full release. As a result, the games will now feature more in-game cinematics and story content.
Pardo noted that the decision was necessary to maintain the quality of the product, the alternatives either being a long delay of the game, or a scaling back of the campaigns
