StarCraft II is a military science fiction real-time strategy video game currently under development by Blizzard Entertainment as a sequel to the award-winning 1998 video game StarCraft. First announced on May 19, 2007, in Seoul, South Korea,StarCraft II is being developed for concurrent release on Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Mac OS X. The game has no certain release date although a multiplayer demonstration was playable at BlizzCon 2007. StarCraft II features approximately the same number of units as the original game.Some units from the original game are returning, some featuring new upgrades and abilities. For example, the Protoss zealot, a melee unit from the original game, now has the ability to "charge" - move rapidly when engaging in combat - while other units have been replaced, or re-imagined.Other unnamed units have been removed entirely, and units from each race are planned to be dropped.Other changes to unit design have been inspired by story events in StarCraft and its expansion, Brood War, replacing old units with new, or renamed, versions which sport different attributes and abilities. The video demonstration also revealed new abilities that encourage more complex interaction with the game environment. Among these are the inclusion of units that can traverse varying levels of terrain,or with the capability to teleport short distances for pursuit or escape.Some Protoss units can be deployed nearly instantly into combat areas using a specialized structure..jpg)
