Starcraft 2 Release Date
Well, it’s finally here – the long awaited release of the hugely popular offline game by Blizzard – Starcraft2. With a massively anticipated release date, Starcraft 2 has been followed, discussed and long-awaited by so many from all around the world.
Blizzard developed the original Starcraft nearly 10 years ago, and it remains an offline and online success, with the battle’s taking place in homes, internet cafes and LAN’s in every corner of the globe.
Ok, so it’s here – when did it get officially released?
Starcraft 2 – codenamed “Wings of Liberty” was released at midnight 27.7.2010
With huge promotions, discounts and offers from games retailers such as Walmart, Gamestop and BestBuy – you can be sure, you’ll get your hands on a copy quickly and at the best price.
With the huge buzz around the official Starcraft 2 release date, developers and Blizzard guru’s were in and around games stores, offering signed copies of the Starcraft2 software purchase.
Traditional fans will be happy to know that SC2 offers some nice addons or next level progression from the original Starcraft. “StarCraft II introduces lots of new units and abilities that build on the gameplay of the original StarCraft.”
The big focus for Blizzard game developers was to make each race in Starcraft2 totally different, offering 3 very different game routes, or types of games that can be played. As such with the first release (Starcraft1) it kept people playing for years – hence the focus here to keep the game player happy and coming back for more and more challenges with their friends.
Of course the real beauty of Starcraft2 now that it’s released is the massive online playability factor. Gamers can login and challenge their friends and people online to duels and see how good their starcraft skills really are.
Judging by the huge buzz at the moment, this will genuinely rival that of CounterStrike and the whole Steam situation where gamers kept coming back and logging in for years and years after the impressive piece of software was released to the public.
