Okay gang, fun’s over. We all had some good times with the few non-delayed Q4 2009 blockbusters that dropped during the past two weeks, but now it’s time to start agonizing over every scrap of news for next year’s highly anticipated titles. We’ll kick things off: Hey, the StarCraft II site just received a major update, delivering a whole mess of feature articles and screenshots to the series’ fast-clicking fanbase!

The articles include a short story about the ever-devious Zerg Changeling, a design overview of the campaign story, insight into creating one of the multiplayer maps, and character bios for three of the game’s combatants. Are you adequately excited by these updates? Good. Now, prepare to not play the game for an undisclosed period of time. Yeah, it’s all coming back to you now, isn’t it?

Starcraft II

In yesterday’s ActivivisionBlizzard company call, Blizzard stated that StarCraft II is still on track for launch during the first half of 2010.

The developers are still polishing the game, working on the beta and expected game launch during Q2 2010.

The launch will be massive as the StarCraft series has sold 11 million units worldwide. Also prepare for any productivity outside of games to slow down.

Sounds like 2010 might be the biggest year in games yet.
