Developer Blizzard has released a handful of new screenshots from its sci-fi RTS sequel StarCraft 2 (PC), showing off more of the game's environments and characters.

No release estimate has been announced for StarCraft 2, with executive VP Rob Pardo recently reaffirming Blizzard's motto of shipping games when they're done.

It's slightly worrisome how messy all the units look. In the first game everything was easily distinguishable from one thing to the next. But this one it actually looks like it'll take some time to get used to how everything looks. Hope it's better in person!

I think you all are coo coo for coco puffs! These screenshots are beautiful! I think it pays great homage to old starcraft , while it still natually is progressing! Blizzard has an amazing art department. I can't wait to get hands on with any of the upcomming Blizzard titles. Don't understand why everyone is giving these guys such a hard time, all they ever did to you was hand you legendary game after legendary game... Have alittle faith eh?

Does this headline imply that Diablo 2 doesn't have any character?

It certainly wasn't as colorful as Blizzard's newer offerings, but if there ever was one thing it didn't lack, it was character.

I spent a while on the Starcraft site reading about the new units and game. They've changed more than I initially thought. REally looking forward to this -- too bad it's not this year.
