Karune, our favorite Blizzard RTS community manager, has returned to answer a few questions before BlizzCon:

First, he discusses BlizzCon itself:

There will be beta key opportunities surrounding BlizzCon as well. More info will revealed in time :)

 

There will be lots of ways to get information, including the fan sites as well. In addition to that, I hear Twitter isn't to shabby of a way to getting info too ;)

 

The Protoss Zealot has received an art upgrade:

As a FYI, several units got updates to their art, including the Zealot, which looks even more impressive than before. Keep an eye out at BlizzCon for all this new art :)

 

Dustin Browder will be at the BlizzCon signing booths:

You'll probably be able to find him at the signing booths- make sure you check when which devs will be there.

 

StarCraft II's Galaxy Map Editor (renamed from SCUMedit), will be able to create third-person games:

On a side note, going along with the Galaxy Map Editor can do anything trend, I hear it may even be able to create a first person shooter style custom game :) Anyone miss those StarCraft paintball games? Our devs internally have already tried out some pretty clever side projects that have been quite successful.

Correction, I meant third-person, but honestly the only difference is where the player camera angle is put.
