StarCraft 2 Closed Beta Ready to Kick Off This Month Quote:
Activision's conference call covering the results for the fourth quarter of 2009 concluded just a few minutes ago, and one of the big announcements to come out of it involves StarCraft 2 -- and more specifically, the game's upcoming beta. The wait for StarCraft 2 is nearly over, and with the game planned for release at some point in "mid-2010," Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime announced that a closed beta would kick off for the game sometime this month.
Morhaime didn't elaborate much other than to say the beta would be available globally and include thousands of players. That means it's time for StarCraft fans to start pacing nervously as they await to hear whether or not they've been accepted into the beta. If you haven't already, now is the time to opt in so that you can give yourself an opportunity to be selected.
Also of interest is the fact that StarCraft 2 will be made available for download on the new Battle.net. Make sure to check out the video tour of the new service. |
Unrelated, but I just realized that when this game comes out, I won't have a single computer decent enough to play it.
