StarCraft II’s opening cinematic set the BlizzCon 2008 crowd afire when Blizzard unveiled a teaser video of the intro to their highly anticipated RTS sequel. Even though the scene was simply a teaser, and not the entire sequence.

But once again Blizzard impresses with some mighty fine CG that is quite simply as top-notch as you can get. Although the opening cinematic isn’t as action packed as I thought it would be, given that this is StarCraft II. But regardless, the teaser video definitely has a very cool, Aliens-esque cinematic feel to it that is definitely worth checking out. And fans will be in for a treat.

Blizzard dropped a bomb on fans of StarCraft II at BlizzCon 2008. They announced that StarCraft II will be split into three separate games, one for each campaign, and will serve as a sort of trilogy!

The reason behind this split is due to the fact that Blizzard wants to pack each version of the game with as much content as possible and allow for as much customization and player choice as possible, in addition to fleshing out the storyline and world as much as they can. In the original StarCraft, there were 32 missions total: 12 for the Terrans and 10 each for the Zerg and Protoss. Each version of StarCraft II will have over 30 missions, so more than double.

The first game in the trilogy will be StarCraft II Terrans: Wings of Liberty. The second will be StarCraft II Zerg: Heart of the Swarm, with the third and final installment of the main trilogy being StarCraft II Protoss: Legacy of the Void. Additionally, each game will be released at a separate time. The Terran campaign is by far the furthest along, so it will most likely be released first, with the others to follow. Although they may not make release during the same year.

Thankfully, each version will contain a full multilayer component that allows you to play as all three races, the split is just for the single-player.

IGN has much more information on the split in their interview with Rob Pardo, the executive Vice President of Game Design.
