Today, Blizzard Entertainment announced that it is giving final touches to the original Starcraft’s sequel. The publisher took one step closer to launch, specifying plans for a regular and Collector's Edition of Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty when it comes out later this year.

The Starcraft II Collector's Edition is too large to be enclosed in a single photo frame.

The limited Collector's Edition of Starcraft II will be sold at a price tag of $99.99, but it consists of a number of additional benefits for the extra cost. The finest version of the game will contain a 176-page art book and a 2GB USB flash drive imitation of Terran hero, Jim Raynor's dog tag, which comes preinstalled with the original Starcraft and its extension, Brood War.

The Collector's Edition will also sport a soundtrack CD for the game, a behind-the-scenes DVD, a Starcraft #0 prequel to the comic book sequence, and a collection of exclusive content for Blizzard's refurbished Battle. net service. And for those who also play Blizzard's World of Warcraft, the creator is offering Collector's Edition buyers an in-game pet based on the Terran unit Thor.

Though Blizzard has not given a release date yet, the company has said that such a declaration will take place "in the coming weeks".
