Hello everyone,

It is a couple of years that blizzard announced that it is working on Starcraft 2 but they are still silent about its release date.

Any idea what is going on, and whether they are going to release it this quarter or not?

I wouldn't count on it. I do expect it to come out some time this year though.

Blizzard made a official statement... they said 2010 will it be released. I think it will be released Q3/2010.

Blizzard Entertainment has moved the anticipated release date of StarCraft II to the first half of 2010 to coincide with the relaunch of its upgraded Battle.netŪ online -gaming service.

Blizzard is known for delays in favour of quality (though sometimes just delays).

Speculating on when is just as futile as guessing when Valve will release. For those not in the know, Valve Time (http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Valve_Time) Maybe Blizzard should make a similar table?

What about Diablo 3 then ?

I think we will be waiting about this long for Diablo 3:

I agree. Especially if folks keep complaining about things like the colour palette not being dark enough, or [insert Diablo III complaint].

To be honest though, I think I've played enough Diablo II for a life time. I don't think new shiny graphics/classes will get me back there.

It might not be enough to get you back into Diablo, but it is certainly enough to get me back into StarCraft. I love that game. My only fear is that they've messed with the units TOO much.

I'm personally very annoyed that they got rid of LAN support for SC2, so I dunno if I even want to get the game. We also have to buy the thing in three installments, or wait for some kind of SC2 Battlechest once they're all out. I love Starcraft, but it'll be a couple of years before I think of buying it.
