Starcraft 2 to be Released as Trilogy of Games

At Blizzcon, Blizzard’s VP of game design Rob Pardo announced that Starcraft 2 will be released as a trilogy, with each game focusing on a single race. The first race will be Terran, followed by the Zerg, and finally Protoss. I was disappointed at first but have made my peace with it since it’s really in line with the episodic format that developers seem to be moving toward. Now if each part was $50, then we might need to have some words.

The first of the three releases will focus on game's Terran faction, and will be subtitled Terrans: Wings of Liberty. The second and third, which executive VP of game design Rob Pardo likened to expansion packs, will be respectively entitled Zerg: Heart of the Swarm and Protoss: Legacy of the Void. An overarching storyline will spread across the titles.

UPDATE: Here's a cam-video of the announcement. It's shaky but at least the audio is pretty clear. Thanks n3g471v3 d3c1b3l for the link!
