LOS ANGELES, California - May 14, 2003 - Journalists from all over the world were invited today to take a closer look at StarCraft: Ghost, Blizzard Entertainment®'s upcoming tactical-action console game set in the epic StarCraft® universe. Announced at the Tokyo Game Show late last year, StarCraft: Ghost's appearance at this year's E3 marks the first time that most of the show's attendees will be seeing the game live.
In StarCraft: Ghost, players take the role of Nova, a lethal Ghost operative trained in the arts of espionage and tactical combat. Twenty years of ruthless physical conditioning and techno-psychological instruction have transformed Nova into a being of terrifying potential. As she progresses through a series of story-driven missions, Nova is required to engage in a number of dangerous infiltration operations and deadly planetary battles. To complete Nova's mission objectives, players must execute intelligent tactical decisions while mastering an advanced arsenal of sophisticated weaponry and Nova's own psionic abilities.
"We look forward to bringing the StarCraft universe to a new group of gamers," stated Mike Morhaime, president and co-founder of Blizzard Entertainment. "Our goal is to expand on the gritty sci-fi story line that helped make StarCraft a success, while taking advantage of everything that the current console systems have to offer."
