Starcraft 2: It's About Time!
In May 2007, developer/publisher Blizzard Entertainment announced the upcoming sequel for the insanely popular 1998 computer game "Starcraft." Continuing in its real-time strategy origins, players will be able to choose from one of the three original game's races: Protoss, Terran and Zurg, with more emphasis on multiplayer capabilities.
This sequel chronologically takes place after the original expansion set, "Starcraft: Brood War." The re-appearance of original plot characters such as Zeratul, Jim Raynor and Sarah Kerrigan are rumored for return.
Physics rendering will make an appearance in Starcraft 2, thanks to the Havok physics engine.
