Not So Rumor(?): Starcraft 2 WILL be an RTS (Plus an MMO project)

With the gaming community speculating on Blizzard-next-big-project conspiracy theories, which will be announced next week, rumors are already flying around that the game announced will be a Starcraft-related project.

While Computer Video Games magazine and a few game blogs have cited the to-be-announced Starcraft-sequel game to be an MMOG of sort, our sources in Korea have heard it right from an insider in Blizzard Korea that Starcraft 2 will still be sticking to its real-time strategy roots. Albeit with enhanced graphics and new elements of gameplay, and new multiplayer features to satisfy the rabid Koreans. While the rumor of a new MMOG from Blizzard is being fuelled by the fact that the developer has also posted a job opening for an MMOG project, a sources again told gameaxis.com that it will not be a project announced on the same day as Starcraft 2, and that it won't be based on the Starcraft universe either.
