[MeRcChRiS]

It better lol I've been waiting very patiently

Who hasnt?

 

[Ghostwind]

Meh. I'm happy with WC3 for now but I will definitely get SC2 when it comes out.

 

[CEMEHbl4]

i think the right date is:
Q1 2009 or later...

 

[EpicFlux]

The set date is October 1st, 2008 as of now, but we all know blizzard is infamous for pushing dates back

 

[juty]

The whisper is after WOW realises it's “next part..... Leach’s wrath” so after then my guess a month after that or less

Can you give a link to where blizzard said that? And don't send me to some fansite with a made up article and fake release date... I've allready seen plenty of those. >_<

 

[EpicFlux]

lol it was on Amazon for awhile but then they removed it. And go look around at like EB Games or something. I asked around and thats the current street date. Along with two others. 1 being in november and the other in december. So basically somewhere towards the end of 2008, early 2009. But if they can they will probably shoot for end of 2008 for the Holidays.

And truthfully I have seen bits and pieces of the game. One of my fathers friends work at blizzard as part of a QA Tester. He said the game is nearing the Closed Beta stage so the game is getting close to completion.

According to EB games they are shipping it out on December 3rd 2008 if you preorder.

Official pricing and release dates have not been announced by Blizzard. Price and release date listed are estimates only and subject to change. Worry Free Guarantee - if the price decreases between the time you place your preorder and the release date, you’ll receive the lower of the two.

Then again it also says that

 

[EpicFlux]

I actually went to the EB Game where I lived and asked heheh. Either way its gonna be probably somewhere towards the end of the year. Holiday sale

 

[Whitesock]

Well, seeing how they will probably try to capitalize on the major gift giving holidays, I would imagine that around early december would be when it would come out.

Question: Will Starcraft 2 be released internationally on that same day of the US release? Like, for Korea, Japan, China, ROC, Thailand, etc.

 

[EpicFlux]

I think they're probably gonna release it in either USA or Korea first, haven't heard much on a global release.
Expect USA first since this is where the game is developed.

 

[tom_mai78101]

I see...

 

[Sim]

Generally, such major games are released simultaneously all around the world.

Generally, such major games are released simultaneously all around the world.

Well some countries are 1 or 2 days behind. But for the most part its the same.

Starcrat 2 Release Date

I will receive my copy of Starcraft 2 in the mail via Best Buy on December 3rd, 2008. Yes it's official.

 

[sqrage]

Official?

Unless Blizzard says it, that's just Best Buy's estimate.

 

[Oninuva]

Best Buy is more official then Blizzard.. look at their company worth xD
