StarCraft II has been Officially Announced by Blizzard last May 19, 2007 Saturday, at the Worldwide Invitational Event 2007 (WWI 2007) at Seoul, Korea, late in the afternoon.

Key points made:

StarCraft II has been in production since 2003, was delayed because of World of Warcraft
They will stick with the magic of StarCraft I
Each 3 races will now become as unique and as separate than before, truely having their own identities, advantages, and special abilities, from the units to the buildings – a good example of which is only the Protoss race will have a “Mothership” unit, balancing will occur differently
Lots of new units
No target release date
Will be compatible with Windows Vista
“Might” have exclusive DirectX10 features (for those Vista/DX10 users of course)
Will be made under DirectX9
Is using a newly developed engine
Will now be in 3D
With zooming feature similar to WarCraft III (not Super Commander)
And lots more new features…
