Starcraft II is a trilogy now!
Trilogy Battles!
Blizzard has revealed that Starcraft II will come as a Trilogy. The first part of the series, Wings of Liberty, will focus on the Terran. Heart of the Swarm, will focus on the Zerg, while Legacy of the Void, will be focusing on the Protoss.
This shows that the campaign might be a very long one. As only a single campaign is playable in each of the series. Bad thing is, this is going to be costly.
Nevertheless, this is a new idea and I hope that it will work out to be fresh and interesting. Blizzard will never disappoint us.

In BlizzCon, Blizzard has revealed a new character class, Wizard, for the upcoming Diablo 3. While the release date probably at around 2nd quarter of next year, we have Wrath of the Lich King to look forward to next month.
Wizard AOEing!
You can check out the new Wizard trailer at the Blizzard website.
So far, Barbarian and Witch Doctor are the classes revealed for Diablo 3. Wizard makes the third and we are looking forward to more classes in the months to come.
In short, the wizard class is an iteration on the sorceresses from Diablo II, according to Cheng, who said that her specialty lies in channeling the powers of the universe to wreck destruction from afar. One of Blizzard’s primary challenges in creating this class, noted Cheng, was creating a class that was familiar to those who enjoy playing the role of “blaster cannon,” but also bringing some innovation to the ranged-damage class. Blizzard’s answer here was to invoke a caster class that was rooted in pen-and-paper-style wizards, one that draws power from the universe, as opposed to aligning with good or evil, summoning, or pure elementalism.

If you go to the Blizzard website, the landing page is a splash screen with ice surrounding some space. While many will postulate the announcement of Diablo 3. We really hope that it will be Diablo 3.
Previously was Starcraft II and Wrath of the Lich King. Now it’s either Warcraft 4 or Diablo 3.
Since Warcraft III was released later than Diablo 2 and Starcraft have the sequel already, Diablo sequel is most probably the prize of this announcement.
Let’s hope for Diablo 3!
