LINK

Second source (Kotaku)

"As most already suspected, considering the long awaited beta period hasn't even begun, StarCraft II will not be released in 2009. Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick confirmed the delay, as part of commentary on the company's second quarter financial results. StarCraft II is now scheduled to be released in "the first half of 2010.

In the same release, Blizzard said the delay was tied to the launch of their revamped Battle.net service, crucial to the game's online multiplayer."

I don't know why anyone suspected that it would release in 2009.

Well their CEO announced at E3 that it was set to release at the end of 2009 this year. I'm expecting it early 2010 then, unless Battle.net 2.0 is really under heavy construction. Anyone think that Activision is behind this? I just remember one of their representatives saying they don't want it interfering with MW2 sales during the holiday season, and I am curious to know what others might think.

Because a handheld game has never won GOTY if i remember correctly and Handheld games and console games are reviewed by different standards

There's always a first for everything. Wii has different standards from PS3/Xbox 360; PS3/X360 has different standards from PC.

How old do you think you'll be by the time the full starcraft trilogy releases? I think I'm going to wind up in my thirties before the end of this comes about. I'm not sure I'll be interested in sc then. :(

I have to say it's a bit disappointing. There are still a few games I'm looking forward to by the end of the year.

Probably. I dare not even imagine how old I'll be when Diablo 3 is released.

This announcement is annoying to me because they said they would release Diablo 3 after the first part of Starcraft II was released. To me, this means Diablo 3 is delayed as well. :?

This is what pisses me off about Blizzard. I defend that creativity shouldnt be heavily limited by schedules and budgets but this is absolutely ridiculous. Stop scratching your ***** family jewels and release the damn game while i'm young. Or dont bother announcing it if you're planing to drag on for two years.

I'm thinking Activision has a part in this, and that they delayed it slightly so they don't interfere with Modern Warfare 2 sales. They said a couple of months back that Starcraft II will sell regardless of when it is released, and that MW2 needs to sell great during it's holiday season. I'll try to find the article.

Bioshock 2, Mafia 2, Mass Effect 2 and now Starcraft 2.*Sigh*

This leaves me with Arkham Asylum and Assassins Creed 2, hopefully they wont delay those aswell.

They've probably already perfected the game at this point, and now it's going to be the most polished, shiny thing I've ever seen in my life. I'll turn on the monitor, put in the game disc and instantly my head will implode. Yes, implode, not explode!

Well, Blizzard did say that it would be releasing this year at E3...Too bad. The game will be better for it probably, and that makes 2010 even crazier than before :o. So many GOTY contenders.
