We hate jumping the gun on things, but we’re feeling pretty confident in our expert assessment that StarCraft II might just drop in 2009. Hell, it’s about time. Today’s announcement that the sci-fi head of Blizzard’s quality-focused hydra is “in the final stretch,” then, already has us jumping the gun on StarCraft II’s release date. And you know how much we hate that.
 
“We don't want to lie about the Beta, and we don't even want to lie about the next Battle Report. When we know a date (for anything) for certain, we'll let you know,” said StarCraft II lead designer Dustin Browder.

“Hang in there. We're in the final stretch,” he added.

So yeah, that’s basically the article. Thanks for coming out tonight, everyone! It’s been great.

I think the book Starcraft: Dark Templar: Twilight was delayed from a December release to June 30th to coincide with the release of Starcraft 2

So it's in the follow up stages? Cool beans, at least Soon wasn't in there anywhere. I'm not confident it will come out before august though. They also plan for a new MMO (World of Diablo? most likely port to MMO or a WoW 2 or something like that, maybe something with spaceships almost like Starcraft? who knows) and they seemingly plan Diablo 3 by 2010. I think they want a major release every year to keep up their new HQ.
