StarCraft II Ship Date Confirmed
StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty will take flight this summer!
Activision Blizzard just sent over an announcement that finally... finally solidifies the actual release date of StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty. The hot-n-tasty sci-fi RTS for the PC is expected to arrive in stores in the USA on July 27, 2010. The game will also arrive on that same day in Canada, Europe, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Russia, Mexico, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, and the regions of Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau.
"The solo campaign for StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty will continue the epic saga where it left off in StarCraft: Brood War," the PR reads. "The story line chronicles the exploits of marshal-turned-rebel-leader Jim Raynor and features both familiar faces and new heroes. Players will be able to tailor the experience, choosing their own mission path and selecting technology and research upgrades to suit their playing style throughout the 29-mission campaign. Several challenge-mode mini-games will also be included, with focused goals designed to ease players into the basics of multiplayer strategies."
The standard version will cost $59.99 USD when it arrives on store shelves. Blizzard is also releasing a Collector's Edition for $99.99 USD which will include an exclusive 2 GB USB flash drive, the official soundtrack, exclusive downloadable content, and more.

Hurray!!! I've waited so many years for this game, I'll be there at midnight opening for sure!
This just in: Korea declares the release date of Starcraft II a national holiday.
Lmao, or just get it off steam.
Probably a console gamer.
Hell...it's about time! (massive pun intended!) xD
Forgive me if my excitement from 2008 has worn off a little. I'm still a little upset over having to buy the game 3 times and might just wait a few years out of spite and buy the battle chest for the price of one. Who am I kidding, by the time the 3rd one is released, the desktop will go away if Apple has its way.
Congrats loyal Blizzardites, you will finally have your 1/3 day.
I played the beta. Worth $60? isn't this kind of late for this kind of game? lol. well, will let the sheep decide. the beta got old after a couple of days and the full version isn't going to be a whole lot different. this game won't draw people away from WoW which is yet another game that gets too much praise.
I will believe it when I see it...
Why am I not happy and jumping with joy about this news?
Will def get this off Steam... hope they will have the bandwidth.
That 2GB drive could be a little more with that price premium.
2 GB! Holy shit batman!
been playing the Beta- its AWESOME. Just the multiplayer part that we can play in the beta is worth the full price of the game. I'll be getting my copy July 27th:-)
Dang, that's nice -- but too expensive.
I'm in the Beta and the Zerg and Terran races need a bunch of work... Hop to it Blizzard! Not much time is remaining! I thought the Thor was going to be constructed on the battlefield, what happened there?
Stop complaining about the game having 3 different releases. Blizzard does an awesome job with their stories and cinematics, and a truly epic adventure of 87-90 missions is worth it. The original StarCraft was 30 missions, and didn't have nearly as much additional content!
aweadam, having 3 different releases doesn't bother me. $59.99 for a single game especially in this economy makes no sense at all. could even be using the time away from this old fashioned game trying to do more important things with time like study and finding a decent job in this crappy economy.
Three separate releases is a good idea, but does it impact on the on-line multiplayer? Do we have to buy the releases to get new units for online play?
Its a great game but its too expensive. Should be $39.99 I would respectfully buy it.
Meh, wish I could be excited, but I can't. Having the zerg and protoss as expansion packs is a kick to the consumers face imo. I'm sure blizzard will survive without, but I don't think I will give them my money this time.
Dbl post, thumbs down.
Agreed on the overpriced point.
What's worse, over here in Mexico it will jump to 100 for the regular one
You people should stop crying over the price. The amount of content you get is worth more the $60, and the collectors Ed. comes with a mini thor pet for wow which will sell for about what the game is worth.
Oooooooooh.....
Exclusive 2gb Flash Drive, For sure worth the 40$!
/Sarcasm.
Breaking news:
Blizzard just announced that the long awaited StarCraft II is being delayed until the first quarter of 2011. It seems that the beta flushed out a substantial amount of bugs and balancing issues which would ruin the overall experience.

First off, this DL will come from Battle.net's online store, not Steam. Blizzard has their own download service.
Second, the 2GB drive is to hold the original Starcraft and Brood War expansions that are on the drive, nothing more.
Oh boy oh boy. Will it be just like the bata? HAHA
$60 for a pc game.... hope this doesnt start a trend
Whoo, we were here...2 summers ago? Wait, has it been that long!? /sarcasm
Hell, its about time...
$60 for a pc game.... hope this doesnt start a trend
Unfortunately, I think the trend has already been started.
