Now that the community has braced itself for the idea that StarCraft II will be split into three chapters, Blizzard’s Rob Pardo hopes it no more than a year between them.
He explains that while they’ll feel like expansions the campaigns themselves are ”going to feel like full, independent stories.”
Speaking with Joystiq, Pardo touched on the issue of time between each release.
”We don’t know yet, because we don’t even know when the first game is getting released yet,” he replies.
”I think there’s some feeling out there that because we’re treating each of the campaigns as almost like separate products, that people have somehow confused that into they’re going to be separate products.” Life itself is already complicated Mr Pardo.
”In a lot of ways, you should think about the follow-ups as being kind of expansion sets to the original. It’s just that the campaigns are not going to feel like expansions, they’re going to feel like full, independent stories.”
”So, you know with any luck, it would be like a year for each successive one, but that’s going to be a target date, that’s not a promise,” he continued.
The first to arrive in the Trilogy series will be the Terran campaign which will also include a little Protoss one too. Each of the instalments is said to add something to the core of the game which will ultimately help benefit online play.
StarCraft II is being released exclusively on PC sometime in the future.
