StarCraft 2 to be launched in the first half of 2010

Those fans that were hoping to see StarCraft 2 this year will be disappointed in knowing that Blizzard has made it official that the second chapter of the real-time strategics will be launched during the first half of 2010.

The real reasons behind the apparent delay (as the game’s lead designer, Chris Sigaty, had talked about the possibility of launching it this year) is due to Battle.net’s relaunch schedule. Battle.net is the online platform that manages all Blizzard’s multiplayer games and it’s defined as being “an essential part on the StarCraft 2 experience and all our games”, according to the developers.

Always according to them however, the new Battle.net will need more preparation time before the game launch, so we won’t be seeing it on 2009.
