Blizzard Entertainment held its second BlizzCon event this past
weekend and introduced a new expansion pack for World of Warcraft
entitled Wrath of the Lich King. It also offered details of another
upcoming game headed to Mac and PC, StarCraft II, by providing further
detail about how Terrans will be portrayed.

StarCraft II is the long-awaited sequel to Blizzard's epic real-time
strategy game set in outer space, that pits Terran forces against
aliens called the Protoss and Zerg. StarCraft II picks up the story
where the first game's expansion pack, "Brood War," left off,
presenting a new cast of characters to players and lots of
enhancements to multiplayer gaming through Blizzard's Battle.net
online service.

The company has already unveiled some of the features that the Protoss
race will receive in the new game, and this time it's the Terrans'
turn. Blizzard has posted detailed profiles on the Marine, Reaper,
Ghost, Viking and Command Center units that will be used in the game.
The StarCraft II site has been updated with screenshots, video and
concept art, as well.

StarCraft trivia buffs will surely appreciate more details on the
Ghost unit; at one time, Blizzard had planned a spinoff game for
consoles entitled StarCraft: Ghost, which was ultimately cancelled.
The Ghost is a stealth-focused unit with advanced psionic abilities
and invisibility.

Blizzard isn't yet saying when StarCraft II will hit store shelves,
but it's planned for a simultaneous release on both Mac OS X and
Windows.
