The sequel to one of the world’s most anticipated PC game has finally been released. Starcraft II was officially launched on July 27th and fans from around the world gathered outside of electronic stores to pick up a copy. For those who were lucky enough to attend one Blizzard’s launch party for the game were greeted by some of the staffs who worked on the game.
The original Starcraft, believed by some, was to be the most influential PC strategy game of all time. The first Starcraft was released 12 years ago and at that one was considered a master piece and sold millions of copies. Popularity for the game grew as time passed and spawned countless spin-offs, other forms of entertainment, and even a whole gaming culture.
Considered to be the most balanced RTS strategy game ever made, Starcraft became “the” competitive game in Korea. The game was taken so serious that pro Starcraft players were treated as celebrities. Top players would competitive in open arenas with displays for the audience to witness alien on alien action.
Anyway, Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty, in the first 24 hour of release has already sold more than 1.8 million copies (excluding South Korea). That number is astonishing and yet expected at the same time. Fans have been waiting for this game for a full decade now, and with its release we’re sure to see a long and active Starcraft II community. Don’t forget all the wonderful custom maps generated user!!
