Original Maps Returning To StarCraft 2

PCGamer - June 21, 2007

Good news for the old school original StarCraft players. Big Game Hunters and Lost Temple are coming to StarCraft 2.

In the latest PC Gamer magazine release, which featured StarCraft 2, Chris Sigaty, StarCraft 2's lead producer, confirmed that Big Game Hunters and Lost Temple will make an appearance in StarCraft 2.

"PCGamer: You may have an underground rebellion on your hands from all these "unwanted" units, in terms of the multiplayer, I know you guys are going to come up with a whole bunch of new stuff, but back in the day, you need to have stuff like Blizzard's Map of the Week. Do you think we'll see a return of classic maps, like Big Game Hunters, reinterpreted in your beautiful new game engine?

Chris Sigaty: Yup! I believe we have Big Game Hunters up and running now, we [also] have Lost Temple. So, yes, you'll definitely see them reinvented using the new engine. As far as releasing maps of the week and that sort of stuff... With Warcraft III, we [recently started] tournaments, and now we have PR teams and a lot more community involvement. We're gonna get some great maps out there so that players can continue to have new and fresh experiences."
