Plus StarJeweled, Left 2 Die and Aiur Chef.
Blizzard has shown four internally-developed mods for StarCraft II at BlizzCon, all of which it will be releasing for free download: Blizzard DOTA, StarJeweled, Left 2 Die and Aiur Chef.
The biggest project of the four, Blizzard DOTA, is “further out” from release according to StarCraft II producer Chris Sigaty. A variation on the ever-popular Defence of the Ancients, which began life as a Warcraft III mod, it’s a competitive map for single hero units – in this case, drawn from across Blizzard’s franchises (“a bit like Super Smash Bros”).
In the BlizzCon demo, Raynor, Kerrigan and Zeratul from StarCraft fight alongside Sylvanas and Muradin from Warcraft and comedy hybrid characters like Grunty (a baby Murloc in a space marine suit) and Level 80 Elite Tauren Chieftan, the mascot of Blizzard’s house band.
