first official trailer
The trailer shown is entirely CGI and clarified the tone of the project. A general harangues his troops, while a young recruit goes through an entire training program: gaining rank, equipment, and a giant combat exoskeleton. However, war is ruthless. The sequence culminates with a mission on an alien planet, where the soldier and his squad face floating creatures and advancing buggers. The battle is brutal, but the ending is twisty: the protagonist dies, his blood flows into the fireplace, and his badge is thrown into a pile of others, evoking a cruel world and a conflict that never stops devouring life.
The trailer’s description reiterates the epic tone: “The Sons and Daughters of the Dominion answered the call when humanity needed it most…and now your call has come. Use their power. Whatever it takes. Join the Dominion.”
New StarCraft shooter will be a single-player game with a Star Marine II story
Details are scarce at the moment. The game is simply called StarCraft, and Hay defines it as an open-world shooter where everything is won on the field. An experience that wants to return to its legendary roots. For more information, all you have to do is wait for subsequent updates.
