StarCraft 2

StarCraft 2 is the name of the highly anticipated, theoretical sequal to the StarCraft and StarCraft: Brood War games.

Blizzard has indicated interest in a sequel. Blizzard officials have posted on the Battle.net forums, asking for suggestions for such a game. Many Easter eggs can be unlocked during and after completion of Warcraft III which relate to StarCraft, leading many to sequel speculation. There was also a leak about a 2007 release from HanbitSoft, the Korean publisher of StarCraft. Job advertisements on Blizzard.com looking for a "Game Balance Designer" with experience in StarCraft and Warcraft III, and the fact that there are several unannounced titles also being developed, suggest that Blizzard is working on another RTS, possibly StarCraft II, although a fourth Warcraft game, a third Diablo game, or an entirely new franchise remain possibilities. Development of a sequel has not yet been officially announced. Over 16,000 players have signed an online petition in support of a sequel's creation. A group of fans operating under the name Snowflake Entertainment are creating a mod to create StarCraft using the WarCraft III game engine, titled Project Revolution. Although not a sequel, Project Revolution will transfer the game from two to three dimensions. On January 16th, 2007, Blizzard hinted at Starcraft II at the Burning Crusade expansion launch night for World of Warcraft.
