Rumour: StarCraft 2 Release Date: Q1 2009?

StarCraftWire.net has come across a very interesting printout of "Upcoming Games Releases in Singapore" for the next few months, and it shows StarCraft 2 to have a date set for a 1st quarter release in 2009.

Considering what we know so far, this is not an impossibility in fact, and the fact that several other titles are under "To Be Decided" (TBD) status of this Singapore-specific release schedule would imply that it's not the standard type of print, where retailers just set a date so they can add it to their systems.

Regardless of how much this upcoming release schedule for games in Singapore can be trusted, it looks lovely to see the text right there in big bold letters saying: "STARCRAFT 2       1st QUARTER 2009"...

Sorry for the watermark btw, we’ve been burned before =P

Not that the document would be hard to “forge”...

This is most excellent news! I just hope Blizzard says something of the sort after the holidays to confirm this.

Not gonna believe any release dates until blizzard announces it, but nice to hear nonetheless.  Waiting patiently for them to announce the beta first.

Let’s just hope I can write it all before it comes out =P

Hmm… it seems to me more like the watermark will cause everybody holding us responsible when it inevitably turns out to be another rumour =)

Definitely looks like they might be releasing Starcraft II in April 1—which marks the 11th anniversary. If that holds true, I can see beta starting as soon as January-February range with a 2-4 months beta-testing-window.

However, their last two RTS games share the July 1-3 release date window.

Interesting. I still think that the game will come out after the release of the third book of the Dark Templar saga though. Makes sense to me.
And I do hope the beta starts in january-february and that I’ll get a key. Everyone probably wishes that.:D

I’m very skeptical. If they don’t put out a beta by the end of this month, they will be lucky to have it on the shelf by the July date. I don’t see any way that they have this thing on the shelf by April, unless they just bail on most of the public beta and rush it out - and that just doesn’t seem like Blizzard’s M.O. to me.
