Blizzard likes money; releasing StarCraft II campaign as three separate products

Blizzard fans (and StarCraft fans, especially) present  BlizzCon 2008  today were probably shocked to hear that when the RTS’s sequel releases, single-player fans are in for a treat. An expensive treat.

You see, Rob Pardo, executive VP of game design at Blizzard, confirmed that the story for the sequel is so big that  the company will be releasing StarCraft II (whenever it actually releases, that is) as three separate products: Terran: Wings of Liberty, Zerg: Heart of the Swarm and Protoss: Legacy of the Void. Three games for the price of one, neat.

Each title, while separate from each other as a “disc,” will be a fully realized, fleshed out campaign with 26-30 missions, real endings and unique elements. There’s no word yet on if all three SKUs will be released on the same day, or on individual dates (or if there will be a “Collector’s Edition” with all three).

 Likewise, will they each be a full-priced title? Hopefully not. Blizzard is referring to them as “expansion packs,” so it’s anyone’s guess. Start saving up, StarCraft fans.
