StarCraft II gets a release date

PC News | And a worldwide launch.

In news that is as scarcely believable as it is anticipated, Blizzard has finally revealed the release date for StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty. Furthermore, it will be receiving a worldwide release date, which includes Australia and New Zealand. 27 July 2010 is the day to mark in your calendars, while IGN has reported that the digital version will be available on Blizzard's website shortly afterwards.

"We've been looking forward to revisiting the StarCraft universe for many years, and we're excited that the time for that is almost here," Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment said.

"Thanks to our beta testers, we're making great progress on the final stages of development, and we'll be ready to welcome players all over the world to StarCraft II and the new Battle.net in just a few months."

The standard edition of StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty will retail for AU$99.95 in Australia, while the Collector's Edition, which includes the original StarCraft and the StarCraft: Brood War expansion set on a 2GB flash drive, will cost AU$149.95. Fingers crossed now that the date sticks...

This is probably the only game that inspires me to "upgrade" my PC. I'm praying that I can run it at some level with my current ****.

You can just download the beta off torrents and test how the game runs on your system. If it's all good, you'll be sweet for the real thing

I remember seeing a rough release date around Christmas. I guess they're really decisive now rather than just beating around the bush like they've done for so many years.

Internet Cafes in Korea will see ridiculous increase in business once this game comes out.
