Designed to be the ultimate competitive real-time strategy game, StarCraft II will feature the return of the Protoss, Terran, and Zerg races, overhauled and re-imagined with Blizzard's signature approach to game balance. Each race will be further distinguished from the others, with several new units and new gameplay mechanics, as well as new abilities for some of the classic StarCraft units that will be making a reappearance in the game. StarCraft II will also feature a custom 3D-graphics engine with realistic physics and the ability to render several large, highly detailed units and massive armies on-screen simultaneously.

SteelSeries introduced the new StarCraft II Limited Edition ZBoard Keyset. Designed specifically for the release of Blizzard Entertainment’s highly anticipated StarCraft II, the keyset will give gamers a customized experience; it features artwork from the game and an intuitive layout, and is a tool designed to help players develop their skills.
