Blizzard’s Rob Pardo mentioned to MSNBC news that Starcraft won’t debut in 2007. Those that saw the demo thought the game was in such an advanced state of development that it could possibly see a 2007 release. Oh well.
“The only thing I can give you [that’s] concrete is it’s not going to be this year. Some people were hoping, because of how advanced the game looks, that we’d have it out by Christmas, but that’s definitely not happening.”
Blizzard is putting a lot of effort into online matchmaking, and intends to distinguish itself from Supreme Commander, Company of Heroes and others by offering an excellent Online competitive experience.
The interview also notes that there is not going to be a fourth race added to the game. Starcraft 2 will feature the same tried and true formula of Terran,Protoss and Zerg. Hey, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!
