Germany. The Games Convention opens for the trade on Wednesday, 22nd
August and is open to the public from Thursday the 23rd to Sunday the

Recently unveiled at the company's BlizzCon

forbidding wasteland of Northrend to exploration by the hardiest
adventurers. European players will be able to adventure in the Howling
Fjord region of Northrend and test their mettle in Utgarde Keep, a
five-person dungeon located there. In StarCraft II's first European
appearance, attendees will be able to experience the recently revealed
new units of the Terran race and play as either the Terrans or the
Protoss in single-player skirmishes and in multiplayer battles on six
different maps.
Members from the development teams will be on
hand to give live demonstrations of the games over the course of the
event, in addition to presentations and interview sessions for the
press.
