Additional hints about StarCraft II *

[s]starcraft[/s]

At the launch of the Burning Crusade, a Blizzard representative made further, and this time public, hints about StarCraft II.



The Burning Crusade, the expansion to the ever-popular WoW, was launched all around the world yesterday. But apart from the main server crashing within an hour after the release and that WoW is soon to have more inhabitants than the whole of Sweden, something else came up - indicating that StarCraft II was indeed coming.

Offline midnight gatherings in California, Sweden, Germany, France, the UK and more, were hosted by Blizzard when the Burning Crusade was available for purchase tonight at midnight.

At the London event, Itzik Ben Bassat, Vice President Business Development and International for Blizzard Entertainment, got up on the stage and said:

"As a Starcraft player I can tell you that I hope it wouldn't go a decade - we launched Starcraft in '98 - I hope it wouldn't go a decade before we stand here and celebrate the next Starcraft together"


GosuGamers » recently reported about fresh rumours regarding the announcement of StarCraft II.

Whether or not the above quote was intended as an announcement of StarCraft II or not remains unclear but GosuGamers will keep you updated on the topic. A fact is, however, that there is no smoke without a fire.

Update: EuroGamer.net has the full quote of Mr. Bassat's speech. As an addition to what is quoted above, it was also said:
"Don't forget that we have two more franchises that we love - Diablo and Starcraft"

"We haven't forgotten that we have these two franchises, and what I can tell you is that I look forward to stand here in a few years, or whenever it's going to be, and celebrate with you the launch of the next Starcraft or the next Diablo."

EuroGamer.net also reports that the Blizzard PR-people at this point "looked a bit uncomfortable".
