Blizzard: StarCraft II beta is “very, very close”

starcraft2_logo1

StarCraft II producer Chris Sigaty has given a clear indication that StarCraft II’s beta really is almost upon us.

“What I can tell you is that we’re working hard on it right now, and we’re getting very, very close,” he said, talking in a live interview with Swedish site Press2Play.

“We don’t have an announcement on it right now, but we’re not years away at this point, and we’re not even quarters away at this point. Very soon, very soon.”

The developer has nothing new to add on a final release date for the RTS.

“We’re saying that we’re targeting to release the game this year,” said Sigaty, but the game won’t ship till it’s ready.

Our BattleNet log-in’s with Blizzard, as was requested earlier this week. Can we plz has beta now?

StarCraft II trilogy release explained

starcraftii.jpg

Kotaku’s posted a chat with StarCraft II producer Chris Sigaty, outlining the thinking behind releasing the game in three parts and adding some detail as to what to expect in each. From the piece:

Each new single player campaign will come with upgrades and changes to the multiplayer. The main difference here is that instead of giving you a tacked-on extension of the single-player experience as you often find in an RTS expansion, each title comes with a fully realized campaign.

Chris explained that each of the three installments would play a bit differently as well, with different meta-game types in each. The initial campaign would feature Terran Jim Raynor, with a meta game that involves upgrading technologies. The second focuses on the Zerg, with a meta-element involving diplomacy. I mentioned Star Control, and Chris said that that sort of gameplay element had been discussed.
