StarCraft MMO blasts into orbit
Blizzard's new sci-fi MMO is set to rock the world later this month, CVG has learned

The long-rumoured new instalment of Blizzard's massive StarCraft series is set to be unveiled later this month - and it's another massively-multiplayer online game in the style of World of Warcraft, CVG can reveal.

Well placed US sources have revealed to us that the StarCraft MMO will be unveiled at an upcoming Blizzard event on May 19 in South Korea - the epicentre of the sci-fi RTS series' rabid fandom.

The unveiling of the new instalment has previously been rumoured for the South Korea event, though we now know that the title is in fact an online spin-off and not a new RTS game as previously assumed.

Of course this is massive news for both Vivendi and the MMO world; Blizzard's other online offering World of Warcraft has topped 6 million subscribers and is arguably the biggest game around today.

The question is, is there room for both World of Warcraft and a StarCraft MMO? The later will have to be a very different type of online game to convince gamers to subscribe to both of Blizzard's pair.

We will of course let you know as soon as soon as Blizzard officially confirms the game on May 19.

I hear he and jubo would ditch FFXI to play starcraft. What kind of game is it anyway?

well there goes the time i used to sleep

I never understood Ploid.

He's not your typical bike stealing, kool aid drinking, cotton picking.....nvm. :<

Posting machine. Yea, I know. I'm oh so much more. Oh car got totaled by a deer standing in the road out of nowhere. 2 way deer in headlights effect >< One of the reasons living out here sucks. $$$ because of a free animal not knowing how to look both ways before crossing the street.

Starcraft MMO kinda weird.. wondering how they gonna do this.

i loved playing starcraft, and the add ons expansions. i was always that race called protus or w/e its been like 4 years the games oldskool, but if they bring a rpg version of it the zerg will pwn lol theres too fucking many of them and the humans sucked. i just used to build fleets of the star ships, that relised 5 small ships, and pwn all muahahahahaha.

My favorite was terran race <.< it was hard to play which is why I liked it xD

OMG Starcraft is like THE game I played back in the day and I pwned at it. I was like the starcraft masta, my friends and I usually played 3v3 BGH... I can play all 3 races just as good and have several fun strats for each.. Nuke rush, tank drops, carrier rush etc. etc.. OMG its so fun.. we need to play sometime...

PS. I'm going to pwn ryuu

I watch the "world finals" of starcraft and there are never any caucasian people who make it to the finals.



Its always like, people who're neighbors in Korea or something.

Eudons not the only one doomed by this
if the game is actually good I may be MIA
for a week.. month.. year.. -ish.

FFXI requires more Vespene Gas.

Srly. Wonder how Stracraft can be formed into a ffxi/WoW type game

Seriously, though, if they do a half decent job making World of Starcraft, you can probably consider me quitted from FFXI forever.
