One of the greatest games ever is about to have a sequel! FINALLY!

Blizzard Entertainment on Saturday announced its newest game in development — StarCraft II, the long awaited sequel to the legendary real time strategy game. It’s currently in development for Mac OS X and Windows. Blizzard didn’t offer a release date for the game, only saying that it will be released when it’s ready.

StarCraft II is a real-time strategy game that revisits the world of Terrans, Protoss and Zergs — three mighty starfaring races that clash for interstellar domination. The three species that make up the game have been “overhauled and re-imagined,” according to Blizzard, and the game is being built using an entirely new 3D engine. Each race will feature new units and new gameplay mechanics, as well as new abilities for units that experienced StarCraft players will already be familiar with.

Oh my. Every geek reading this just lost control of their faculties…
