This will not come as a surprise to most people, but Blizzard has confirmed that Starcraft II will not make a showing this year.
When asked about the game’s release date, Pardo said, “The only thing I can give you [that’s] concrete is it’s not going to be this year. Some people were hoping, because of how advanced the game looks, that we’d have it out by Christmas, but that’s definitely not happening.”
“Definitely not happening” sounds as though we will not see the game until well into 2008. It’s going to be a tough wait, but hopefully a worthwhile one.
