Starcraft 2 announced

Blizzard announced that Starcraft 2 is under development, just a few minutes ago, at their Worldwide Invitational in Korea.

This after almost ten years since the original game was released, and after a cryptic countdown on the Blizzard main site this week. They are showing videos of it now to the audience in attendance, but all I can grab online are minute-by-minute recaps from some sites.

3:00 - FMV sequence in a spaceship - looks Terran - zooming in on a metal door - door opening - reveals a guy with a cigar in chains - prisoner - door shuts behind him - there’s so much bass the room is shaking - guy steps into some kind of metallic devicce - legs are strapped in - guy rising toward ceiling - Korean text on screen got people very excited - another part of the machine is dropping metal arms on him - machine whirring - applying armor to his torso - extremly detailed visuals here - now guy is strapping on gloves - armor is molding together - seems like a Terran marine - rockets turn on - zerg now onscreen - Marine delivers a line - StarCraft 2 officially announced.

Of course, there is no release date announced yet. Hopefully we’ll get the above movie posted here soon.
