'StarCraft II' Set for December 3rd?

Posted by Brian Leahy - Monday, June 23, 2008 10:33 AM

Three retailers have all listed StarCraft II for a December 3, 2008 release, but should we believe this? The short answer: NO.

Retailers often make up release dates just to keep their website updated and push pre-sales for games that have no announced date. Shacknews argues that three retailers probably wouldn't all pick the same date and that this could have some credibility.

We believe that Vivendi, the publisher, is probably giving this information to retailers and that's the reason for the shared prediction. StarCraft II does not have a release date and isn't even in beta yet. Don't expect December 3rd to be true, especially with Blizzard's track record for releases.

We could get some new information out of Blizzard's Worldwide Invitational later this week, however. Expect something on the real-time strategy game.

Side note: For some great Korean Pro-StarCraft with English commentary, check out the GOMTV Intel Classic and Star Invitational. There are over 200 videos in the back log with great commentary by Nick "Tasteless" Plott.

I agree. If it's not on the official site then I don't believe it. I do however believe, that this game is going to PWN every other game in existence once it comes out.

@paulthebest,

Why are you apologizing to us...? We don't even believe it.

Personally, I believe it. Blizzard themselves said 4th quarter, and that's right near the tail end of it. Either way, it will definitely be an amazing game. Protoss have some interesting new tools, and the Zerg are definitely more of a force to be reckoned with. However, I can't help but feel that Terrans are left a bit ... too weak now.

I agree, eventhough I am a Toss player myself.

I also want to know when, if when, or how we can actually get ahold of the beta when it comes out, which would be awesome if I might say.

And plus about the Tournys going on at Korea right now, pretty good so far and good job to Tasteless too!!
