Gutted! More Starcraft 2 delays :(

ey everyone,

Just wanted to make sure you were aware of this message that we just posted for players regarding StarCraft II and Battle.net.

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 StarCraft II for updates, and as always, thank you for your continued enthusiasm and support for StarCraft II and all of Blizzard Entertainment’s games.

Best,

Blizzard PR

Glad tbh i like Blizzard for this stance on their games say what you want about WoW and it's server problems at release but no one was prepared for the millions of players that were going to batter the servers.

The main problem isn't the SC2 development, its the online/multiplayer side of things. In one way I am glad too, multiplayer for a lot of games keeps them going to for a long time. The one annoying thing for me was Left 4 Dead, given how Valve had CounterStrike going, they should have learned a few tricks.

Might go hunting for BlizzCon tickets tonight, see who I can annoy to get in free :p

How long has this been in development already?

I think maybe they're so worried about annoying the Koreans that they're too scared to put it out :)
