Hard at work on several projects, powerhouse developer Blizzard found some time recently to release a little media for its upcoming games.

First up are a few shots from the anticipated RTS sequel StarCraft II, showing off Jim Raynor and the adventure game-styled environment that players will explore between missions.

We also have a few pieces of concept artwork for the upcoming World of Warcraft expansion Wrath of the Lich King, depicting a Nerubian Vizier and a Plague Eruptor.

Both titles are due out on the PC sometime later this year.

Those WoW mobs are pretty uninspired, imho. Then again, the last expansion wasnt all the inspired either, especially when compared to the original game.
