StarCraft: Ghost Revealed at Tokyo Game Show
Today at the Tokyo Game Show Blizzard Entertainment announced its newest product under development, StarCraft: Ghost. In this 3D tactical-action console game set in the legendary StarCraft universe, players will take the role of Nova, a lethal Ghost operative trained in the arts of espionage and tactical combat.
As a Terran Ghost, Nova will employ an amazing array of physical and psionic abilities. Nova will also have access to a host of hi-tech weapons and vehicles, some of which will be familiar to players of StarCraft and Brood War.

Check out the official announcement in our latest press release. You can also see more of Nova, her adversaries, and some of the interactive 3D environments that she'll be infiltrating at our new StarCraft: Ghost Web site.

... quite an announcement... perhaps this is the Blizzard game coming to the XBox?

Perhaps.... perhaps... I hope this doesn't turn out like C&C Renegade. But hey: This is BLIZZARD we're talking about here :)

Hopes that it's Xbox

Woooooooooooo!!!! I simply can't wait for this game, it sounds awesome! Blizzard, THANK YOU! It sounds like a nice blend of Metal Gear Solid and GunValkyrie... Blizzard stated they are evaluating multiple console release but even if it came out only on the Xbox, this WILL be the game to sell me on the system! Blizzard + Capcom teaming up? A dream come true...

Maybe all three consoles. Certainly sounds good, and it is Blizzard, so it should be spectacular to actually play (though we'll be hit with a few well-worth-it delays, guarenteed).

I hate every Blizzard game and this sounds as gay as any. Erm... that's not very NewThugg(TM) of me... Ummm... whatever sells more Boxes is ok with me.

I like the NewThugg!

Blizzard isn't stupid, so it's going to be all three systems, or just PS2/Xbox. I present this multiple-step equation:

Starcraft = big money in Asia
PC = not so big money in Asia
Consoles = big money all over the world
Metal Gear Solid = big money all over the world
Starcraft + Consoles + MGS - PC = big money all over the world

It's not Blizzard, it's another company with Blizzard looking over their shoulder. I hope it turns out well.

I want Starcraft II...

Although I'd prefer Blizzard to stick to PC games, I have faith in them making a mind blowing console game. Bring it on.

Alright everyone. it\'s officially an Xbox game.
