The story team has moved on to the Heart of the Swarm.[20][21]
Blizzard Entertainment chose this route due to the challenges they faced creating the campaigns. Through a trilogy, they can create more content per campaign, such as movies, sets, props, characters, missions (including Easter egg missions) and so forth. Each character will have their own arcs, missions and dialog.[22][23] The story has been designed so that no previous knowledge of StarCraft is required to enjoy it.[24]
The three campaigns do not occur simultaneously in-universe. Rather, they occur in chronological order,[25] each campaign beginning immediately after its predecessor.[26] Each campaign will have 26-30 missions in total (including branching missions) and a set ending, rather than a cliff-hanger.[22]
The latter two expansions are expected to take over a year to release.[27][28]
All three races were completely developed for the multiplayer skirmish mode.
Trilogy Features
Heart of the Swarm and Legacy of the Void are considered to be expansion sets[23] and will be priced as such.[15] Rob Pardo later described them as expansions from a multiplayer standpoint (much like Brood War) but sequels from a campaign standpoint.[29]Each will upgrade and expand multiplayer content in addition to containing a campaign,[27] such as the possibility of new units, abilities and structures.[23] New units available in the expansions can only be accessed if a player buys the expansion. Each product would have upgrades to the multiplayer, "that's the whole point of the expansion or the second part".[30] Each race will be enhanced in some way.[31]
Blizzard plans on adding "drawing" functionality for referees in Heart of the Swarm.[32]

I really want to play this game, after all of the things I read and hear about it. Literally have zero time for it though, which makes me sad.
ReplyDeleteI never played starcraft, but always wanted to.
ReplyDeleteI think I'll get this game.
Can't bloody wait for diablo iii to come out!!!
Only bad thing about it being a trilogy is paying more. Oh well, I know I'll buy them all anyway.
ReplyDeletestarcraft got a little lame in the expansion, enemies were too powerful...
ReplyDeleteOh wow, I didn't realize they were doing a trilogy.
ReplyDeleteThat's really good news, can't wait to play it.

ReplyDeletedidnt know they were doing a trilogy, i think ill just buy that 1
ReplyDeletewhile they may be able to do more work on each part, let's not overlook the real reason they did it... so they can sell us the same game 3 times... or more accurately 1/3 of the game for the price of a full game
