Blizzard announces a trilogy of StarCraft II titles, each focusing on one faction...

At their annual BlizzCon event held in Anaheim, California, Blizzard Entertainment has confirmed that upcoming RTS StarCraft II will be released as a trilogy of titles, each part focusing on a single playable faction.

Making the announcement over the weekend, Blizzard's executive VP of game design Rob Pardo revealed the names of the three titles as "Terrans: Wings of Liberty", "Zerg: Heart of the Swarm", and "Protoss: Legacy of the Void". Wings of Liberty will be the first instalment released in the trilogy, with the three titles making up a single epic story arc.

Explaining that the move was made to ensure the highly anticipated RTS would have a reasonable development cycle without cutting content, Pardo stated that the Zerg and Protoss instalments "will be like expansion packs...the company doesn't plan to skimp on the content. We really want them to feel like standalone products."

Despite the announcement, Blizzard still haven't announced when the first third of StarCraft II will arrive on PC.

Won't be World of StarCraft due to many SC players being poor already with slow comps, so it is either that SC Board game tvg rules! they mentioned once or StarCraft 2.
