[joystiq] Blizzard aiming to release StarCraft 2 in 2009.

Quote :

Blizzard president Mike Morhaime confirmed in an investor webcast that StarCraft II has been planned for release later this year. "We're targeting an end of year release this year for StarCraft II," said Morhaime. "But as always, we won't release it until it meets our standards and the expectations of our players."

With the beta opening this summer, it looks like there will be more than enough StarCraft for fans to sink their Zerg-like talons into.

Wow Holden, this actually turned out to be a good birthday for you.

I believe I read a similar story in Gamespot's E3 coverage earlier today. I was surprised, I expected another year or two before they finally completed their little project.

Yeah, same. Though I'm still expecting them to push it back massively, at least until next summer.

hahaha, people have been expecting SC2 to be released since 1998

but there's actually a good chance we'll get a Christmas release!

Not really. A bad chance.

And don't accuse me again, you know I want it to come out (nearly) as much as you do. And you also know full well that I'm right.

Hmmm, well, 's hard to predict Blizzard, but it is a quote from the Blizz prez...

When have Blizzard been right about their release dates, other than a week before the date?

idk, haven't had much personal experience.

But an official post is pretty legit, right?

Well, trust me... 75% chance they're not going to make their winter target, in the interest of quality (aka delays).

But I can hope Beta will come out!

Right?

*only a few weeks of summer left*

shiiiiiit...
