Blizzard’s much-anticipated sequel to StarCraft may still be stamped with the company’s vague “when it’s done” release date, but that hasn’t stopped promotions for the new gear from kicking into high gear. On Tuesday, famed mouse-maker Razer announced that it would roll out a new line of StarCraft-branded peripherals especially for the game.

The company plans to release a mouse, keyboard and headset both inspired by StarCraft II, and designed especially to be used with the game. It will also market a StarCraft II messenger bag, backpack, and gamer case.

“The project is in the development phase with a focus on serving up innovative features while offering precision, cutting-edge technology, accuracy, speed and comfort,” said Razer president Robert Krakoff, in a press release. According to Razer, that will include exclusive and unique features catering to the StarCraft community (a Zerg-rush button, perhaps?).

Razer’s messenger back will be showcased at the upcoming BlizzCon gaming convention in Anaheim, but in the true spirit of StarCraft II, firm release dates have not yet been announced.

As part of its recent interview with IGN, Criterion reflected on its 30-year journey, from Burnout and Need for Speed to helping revive Battlefield. The studio made it clear that Burnout remains an important part of its identity, but it also acknowledged that its future now lies firmly with Battlefield. Fittingly, Criterion's new 30th anniversary logo proudly carries the tagline: "Criterion: A Battlefield Studio."

On paper, that makes perfect sense. Battlefield 6 has already become one of EA's biggest success stories in years. It revived a franchise many had written off, delivered the biggest launch in Battlefield history, and reminded everyone why the series was once Call of Duty's fiercest rival. As a Battlefield fan, I genuinely couldn't be happier. As a Burnout fan, though? That realization stings a little.
