StarCraft II website inundated with info

By Oli Welsh Published 20 November, 2009

Story and multiplayer previews and more.

Blizzard has let its StarCraft II community know that there is a ton of new content on first release Wings of Liberty on the official website to distract you from the fact you're not even in the beta yet.

The articles on single-player storytelling and multiplayer map design are well worth a read for some hard science from Blizzard's developers. The single-player article discusses how even outlying missions in the game's branching structure are crafted for storytelling, while the map design piece discusses the considerations in building a 1v1 map for serious competitive play.

There's also a short story, new character bios and new screens and art, and video absolutely everywhere.

StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty is due for release in spring 2010 with a preceding beta test earlier in the year.

    that's why blizzard's games are amongst the most played of all time in their respective genres

    Still... I think they may have ended up with a momentum problem on this one, there doesn't seem to be the same enthusiasm for it now (a few months before launch) than there was a year ago.

    Oh how nice it would be to be inundated with beta games rather (surely they could have given us something to just mess around with - even a single tiny campaign)...or some news that made me less numb with all this waiting (like news that LAN would be at least something we can start offline for up to 96 hours without having to log onto battle.net again).

    I personally would prefer to see any story elements in the actual game that they release rather than reading about it now and probably forgetting most of it by the time they release it (since it'll probably be at least six months till we see it).
