"We were targeting three to five months for the beta, we're really at a three month period of time for the beta at this point. We are still targeting the first half of this year... [for release]," Sigaty said during the podcast (via Shacknews). Their original time-span for the beta would have put the release of StarCraft 2 into the second half of the year at the earliest, but with three months (counting February, perhaps, as the first month), that would have it ending by around April, and leave May and June to institute any tweaks, balancing, or bug-fixing and have the game out on store shelves.
StarCraft 2, if it's even humanly possible to recall, was first announced way the hell back in 2007. But hold tight, folks -- it looks like the wait is indeed almost over. Or if you had $300 to burn for a beta key, it could be over right now. Just sayin'. | __________________  |
