StarCraft II to ship this year

Blizzard boss Mike Morhaime's confirmed that StarCraft II will release this year, speaking in a pre-E3 investor webcast.

"We're targeting an end of year release-this year-for StarCraft II, but, as always, we won't release it until it meets our standards and the expectations of our players," he said in the call.

Good news. The RTS's beta is slated to start this summer.

Thanks, BigDownload.
