Leading a panel at BlizzCon this afternoon, Blizzard creative VP Chris Metzen just announced that Tricia Helfer of Battlestar Galactica fame will be the new voice actress for the Zerg's Queen of Blades herself, Sarah Kerrigan. Helfer is kind of double-dipping in the real-time strategy genre here, given her recent appearances in Command & Conquer 3 and its expansion. Fans have been speculating about who would play Kerrigan for a while now, so there's your answer. Star power! 
 

Not from StarCraft II.

Kinda sucks for the voice actor who voiced Kerrigan in the original Starcraft.

What exactly is the point of having her do the voice work for this game, other than being able to tell geeks "look, cute girl with boobies! you want to buy this NOW!"?
 
I mean, it's not like her voice is THAT recognizable or unique.

it seems like none of the original things are being carried over from the first game. not even the designers.

C&C3, ODST, and now SC2.
 
Looks like Helfer has developed an interest in games work recently.

Who was the original voice actor anyway? I always thought she sounded a bit like Jeri Ryan.

This is completely awesome, but not neccessary. This is wasting money.  
 
But awesome.

Judging from the cinematic trailer released a few days ago, I think the voice is fine.
