According to a article on GameSpot, the Battle.net project director Greg Canessa hints that next installment in the three-part series (Called Heart of the Swarm) is 18 months away. This would put it sometime in March or April 2012.

A Blizzard rep later said that there was no announced window for the release but he does say the game will not be featured at blizzcon 2010.

http://www.gamespot.com/news/6281119.html?tag=latestheadlines;title;1

Also interesting: Project director Greg Canessa and technical director Matthew Versluys explain exactly why launching a new online service to handle the millions of World of Warcraft and Starcraft II players from day one is no easy task.

I really hated the story so I don't care about the continuation of it. However I wonder what changes it will bring to multiplayer.
Not bad for a cat toy.

How many years has it been since they said they were working on the next-gen MMO? It was before the Diablo 3 announcement, right? I'll admit I'm a little curious about it. I wonder if their plan is to just keep working and working on it until WOW's numbers start to decline, and then formally announce it.

Diablo 3 was in production for nearly 3 and a half years before it was announced.

This MMO is an entirely new concept.

I seriously doubt we'll see it at Blizzcon.

Maybe Blizzcon 2011. MAYBE.

I bet they will delay the 18 month release, then indefinitely delay the project, and then in 2020 they use the "hell its about time again" slogan

you're playing the full game now, i hate people that think the game isn't complete yet, because there are more expansions, the game is complete, their will be additions in the next 3 years

I liked this, I was scared that they would release in 2011. I would prefer if they release an expansion once every 3 years, so we can get used to all the expansion instead of immediately moving from expansion to expansion.

Wonder if they'll release new units, or if it's mostly a singleplayer deal. I assume you wont be able to play multi without buying it either way, as opposed to being just extra story content... 18 months cycle.. Great, now we will be in a continuous cycle of optimistic excuses.

Step 0 . Beta phase
"Dont say anything negative, its still only Beta !"

Step 1. Game Release High
"Game is too new to criticize about anything!"
1b. "It's been <1 year, too new for [advanced detail]!"

Step 2. Beta Details/features announced
"See! Dont be impatient! Expansion will fix it!"

Step 3. More expansion details, into Early Beta Hype
"Wow this is new and shiny, everything is new and fun again!",

Repeat

now I'm not saying Blizzard will deliver on this, but just imagine...

we've waited 10 years for this game. I'm not saying it's perfect, but I definitely was awstruck when i first played through campaign. 10 years for this quality. Now similar quality, all new material, in 2 years.

for me, that's short. continuation of the storyline which I'm super psyched about with all new units and all new strategies. look on the bright side people. in two years you probably won't even be able to master half the strategies out there right now, and two years from now you'll have to adapt to brand new units.

exciting times ^_^ go sc2

Expansions obviously don't take the same amount of effort seeing as the engine is already complete so all they have to do is write a story, make the missions/cinematics then add in some new units. 18 months certainly isn't THAT long for it though. Personally I just want to play the next damn campaign.
