PC - StarCraft II - Rumour: StarCraft 2 Release Date: Q1 2009? StarCraftWire.net has come across a printout of "Upcoming Games Releases in Singapore" for the next few months, and it shows StarCraft 2 to have a date set for a 1st quarter release in 2009.

Considering what we know so far, this is not an impossibility in fact, and the fact that several other titles are under "To Be Decided" (TBD) status of this Singapore-specific release schedule would imply that it's not the standard type of print, where retailers just set a date so they can add it to their systems.

PC - StarCraft II - Blizzard: StarCraft 2 NOT shelved in favour of Diablo 3 Blizzard has denied rumours that development on StarCraft II has been largely postponed until Diablo III is finished.

However, speaking to VideoGamer.com yesterday in London prior to the midnight launch of World of Warcraft expansion Wrath of the Lich King, Paul Sams, chief operating officer, Blizzard Entertainment, assured fans that the StarCraft II team has "absolutely, positively... not been pulled off".

"Absolutely not" said Sams when asked categorically if StarCraft II development had been postponed in favour of Diablo III development. "They are two separate teams entirely. The StarCraft 2 team is the most veteran team at Blizzard. As an example the team lead from StarCraft, the original, is one of the lead engineers on the game. I would say maybe as much as half of that team are among our most seasoned and most veteran players and developers in the entire company."
