It's official:

Today we announced that StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty will not be ready for release by the end of 2009. Over the past couple of weeks, it has become clear that it will take longer than expected to prepare the new Battle.net for the launch of the game. The upgraded Battle.net is an integral part of the StarCraft II experience and will be an essential part of all of our games moving forward. This extra development time will be critical to help us realize our vision for the service.

Our mission is to develop games that deliver an epic entertainment experience. As part of that commitment, we will always take as much time as needed to ensure that our games and services meet the expectations of our players and the standard for quality that we set for ourselves as developers. As we work to make Battle.net the premier online gaming destination, we’ll also continue to polish and refine StarCraft II, and we look forward to delivering a real-time strategy gaming experience worthy of the series’ legacy in the first half of 2010.

We will share more details about the beta, Battle.net, and StarCraft II’s launch in the future. Keep an eye on the official website at http://www.starcraft2.com for updates, and as always, thank you for your continued enthusiasm and support for StarCraft II and all of Blizzard Entertainment’s games.

I guess this was expected given how badly the Beta has been delayed so far.

This was pretty obvious that it would happen.

Edit: Note, I want to say that I dont think Blizzard has officially announced it and Yahoo is absolutely terrible when it comes to facts. Its almost a 100% certainty that the game wont come out until 2010, but I would wait to hear it from Blizzard, not Yahoo.

Edit: I see its official now

Dont believe what some "stockmarket" guy with no knowledge into blizzard says, hes just making a prediction.

The world will potentially end in 2012, does that make it fact? Not til we hear it from God himself.

"In the future" haha Blizzard is back!

So basically Starcraft 2 is done, but Battle.net 2 is not done, and that's delaying Starcraft2, and likely Diablo 3.

Even the beta....

haha life sucks being a blizzard fan before your game released.

Both would be nice ^^

It's not a prediction; it's from Activision Blizzard's quarterly report, which was just released this hour.
Of course, you only live one life, and you make all your mistakes, and learn what not to do, and that’s the end of you.

yes becouse korean bw progaming will die as soon as sc2 comes out, unbalanced and untested at pro level game vs perfectly balanced legendary game with set leagues, pro teams and all the stuff behind it.
