Mike Morhaime Confirms Starcraft 2 will be released this year
Mike Morhaime, President and co-founder of Blizzard, announced today on E3 that Starcraft 2 that the game will be released before the year ends. Starcraft 2 will be available for beta testing this summer but of course the final Starcraft 2 release date could still be delayed until Blizzard deems the sequel for Korea’s national sport fit for release.
[6:54] The new Battle.net service will launch alongside Starcraft II, which represents a return to the company’s roots.
[6:54] Morhaime talks about the series’ well documented popularity in South Korea, where he says it is akin to a national sport.
[6:55] There will be a Starcraft II beta test later this summer, and Morhaime offers to get anyone in attendance into the program. Morhaime expects to launch Starcraft II by the end of the year, though also notes that it will only ship once the game is done.
[6:56] Morhaime said more about the games will be revealed at BlizzCon, and encourages everyone to attend the August show, which sold out yesterday.
Prices and release dates from Gamestop, most of the time are accurate. It’s where some fans have based their predictions for games’ release dates and in the case of Starcraft, the release date specified on gamestop would be better than a wild guess.
