Rob Pardo revealed today that the Starcraft 2 campaign will be a trilogy. The order of the Starcraft 2 trilogy campaign will be similar to StarCraft’s, with the Terran campaign “Wings of Liberty” opening the StarCraft 2 story and with Jim Raynor leading the Terran forces. Next is the Zerg campaign “Heart of the Swarm” with Kerrigan leading the Zerg Forces. And Zeratul leading what remains of the once glorious protoss and dark templars in the 3rd campaign “Legacy of the Void”.

Pardo explained that by doing this, each campaign can have up to 26-30 missions and more cinematics in between missions and each campaign would be epic instead of having the last mission of each campaign an introduction to the next.

Rob Pardo didn’t make it clear though whether the 3 campaigns would be released at the same time and how much the game would cost, nor if the game will be standalone or if you would require at least the first Starcraft 2 campaign to play multiplayer.

Here’s a sample cinematic featuring Zeratul and Kerrigan (Thanks to Lipton)

Mike Morhaime, president of Blizzard Entertainment, announced today that those who attended Blizzcon 2008 will receive Starcraft 2 Beta Keys. The Starcraft 2 Beta key is more than enough to justify the Blizzcon ticket priced at $100. The Starcraft 2 beta keys will allow people who attended Blizzcon 2008 to download the beta build of Starcraft 2 thought it has not been announced whether the keys would be reusable or not.

With the Starcraft 2 beta, fansites and pro-gamers and casual gamers alike would be able to help Starcraft 2 developers balance the game further before release. Starcraft 2 entering beta stage is also a sign that Starcraft 2 is “almost” ready for release.

Starcraft 2 beta keys and other items included in the Blizzcon Schwag Bag started popping up on ebay. Expect more of Starcraft 2 beta keys to be sold in ebay today. The beta key is so precious that it can even pay for your trip to Blizzcon, the Blizzcon 2008 ticket and a trip back home.
