The Zerg race will be announced on the 10th of this month (March), and now the Vivendi CEO has been interviewed and he said the game will come out in August.

Exactly how trustworthy is this? Doesn't Blizzard usually release a Press Release for their release date as their announcement...how could the CEO of Vivendi either slip up or be allowed to say the date?

This is really sudden...but I will not believe anything until Blizzard officially has it in print.
Shorts down shorts up, BOOM, just like that.

I figured blizzard would spend at least another year tweaking everything

wow i hope this really is true, once all races are in there i cant imagine much more balance testing as it seems they have been balancing as they go rather then making units and then choosing to balance at the end. Question though, does anyone know how long games take to be manufactured once they are done all testing?

I really dislike him. And I'm actually afraid of Vivendi and how they get to interfere with Blizzard's precise game making

the "players think change Is bad" thing by Blizzard really dropped my hopes in SC2 becoming as good as BW, now that they are releasing it so soon it sounds like they're just going to use the easiest way of just making it noob friendly wc3-shit-clone.

BW WILL STAY ALIVE FOREVER~!

I'm highly skeptical. This kind of information wouldn't be released in such a casual way.
Oh no

Well, it's a tentative release date from blizzard, from what I gather of their history with release dates, it could just as well say christmas.

Roughly Translated:

The follow-up game to the online "Starcraft" looks to debut this July or August at the earliest.

Bruce Hack, a representative of Blizzard Entertainment's parent company Vivendi Games spent 6 days in Samsung Dong, Seoul at the Intercontinental Hotel and had a press conference. He announced, "We're in the last stages of developing SC2". Although Hack did not make any concrete statements about when the game will launch, it seems that once Activision and Vivendi Games close their merger in June, we are expecting SC2 to be released in July or August.

SC's follow-up game, SC2 is gorgeous with realistic images and already there is a lot of interest amongst gamers. Starcraft is a game developed by Blizzard Entertainment, a subsidiary company of Vivendi Games and has sold over 5 million CDs in Korea since 1998.

They're just overspoiled elitists who think they know everything about game design and competition and then take offense at every single letter Blizzard says.

It gets really fucking annoying when you guys don't know what something means and then go on huge ass tangents about it. And you have to admit, they're right, people are afraid of change, everyone on this board was! As a matter of fact this goes for every single game out there. They're not insulting us... -.-

On topic: This seems really really really early. Is there going to be some public beta like warcraft 3 or something? I would want them to take their time and make good decisions. Sure, they have been working on this for a few years already, but it seems even now everything is really rough and sketchy. August is just a blink of an eye away, I'm not too sure if this is good or not.

Okay so even if they are shooting for August, I'd guess like 3-4 months after that. I guess right before Christmas.
