Gamernode: News - December launch of Starcraft II now in doubt

December launch of Starcraft II now in doubt

Recent rumors and indications from various retail outlets suggest that Starcraft II is sitting in the wings for a December 3 release for this year. But statements made by executive vice president, Rob Pardo of Blizzard, have cast some doubts recently on the launch date.

At the Worldwide Invitational presentation of Starcraft II, Pardo talked about how far along the game was in the development cycle and said they were "about a third of the way through" the campaign and were focusing on the cinematics and story structure. He said that by year's end, Blizzard would have something dramatic to reveal.

If Starcraft II is indeed only a third of the way along in the development cycle, with only five months left before the rumored release date, will there really be enough time to finish and test the game?

The mega online store, Amazon, still has not posted a release date for SC II so it may be possible that we won't see the new game and the Zerg until next year.
