The day has not yet come when I trust anything that joystiq.com has to say, however - it does seem to be a probable date. Another four months of development (including betas), and another month for polishing and distribution - it is very possible from a technical and a financial point of view. In short, it is a definite maybe.

Aaaah, gotta love theorycrafting about games not yet out of their alpha-stage....
I was born to fast expand!

i think so too, according to the blizzcast they said they've been working on the queen for 2 years, and imo its still in a terrible state. They said zerg needs a lot of work.

At least it would make sense for Blizzard to publish the game before Christmas, but I hope they'll spend a bit more time polishing it to perfection.

Meh I think December sounds very realistic but I doubt it's an official date.

Ok, 2 things you need to know about how it works for the retailers and distributors.

- They always make up dates so that retailers can have a planning for Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 and dates move nearly every week until there is a confirmation from the game editor.

- They always make up early dates so that retailers start pre-ordering. Every pre-order is a sure and safe 60 euros multiplied by the amount of copies ordered. This is SAFE money, they need that. cash-flow.

That means:

Do never trust these documents even if it "sometimes" can give some hints.

Blizzard won't put SCII on the market 2 months after WOLTK, no way.

I honestly don't think Blizzard's gonna be able to release that fast(they themselves admit the game has a lot of balancing and polishing to go through)...my guess is Q2 or Q3 2009 at the absolute earliest.

I don't think blizzard has to care about christmas. Thats more for those lower tier games that don't get sold otherwise. A game like Starcraft2, that got such a big hype about it can be sold at every time of the year.

December 3rd + Average Blizzard game delay = June 9th, 2009.

I'll believe this game makes it to shelves in December when I get one down myself.


So I told him your car was like that when I got here and as for your grandmother she shouldnt have mouthed off like that

Its a Wednesday on the 3rd games normally get released on a Friday in the UK at Least?

I'll go with what most people have said so far in this thread possible but not probable.

Though it does piss me off greatly that WoW gets its third expansion before SC2 is released. Especially since its going to die once its clone is released.

So true. I play wow and we've lost 30% of our Guild to AoC.
Other guilds have had to disband and give up. It's practically destroyed our server.
AoC isn't even good! people are just so desperate to play something else.

Even if WAR doesn't dominate, something else will come along pretty soon.
Surely it was a mistake by Blizzard not to release something new?

If you read the article it's just random game selling companies making a date up. It's no better a guess than mine or yours.
