It's been a little more than two years since StarCraft II was announced, but the end of the long wait appears to be in sight. Rumors abound that the open beta is nearly upon us, which suggests that it will indeed be arriving this year. But what does Blizzard have to say about it?
Lead designer Chris Sigaty told press2play (via Kotaku) that the team will indeed be trying to get it out this year. But that promise comes with a caveat.

In what appears to be a return to tradition for Blizzard, Sigaty said, "We're not going to ship the game if it's not ready." Seems they learned their lesson from the World of WarCraft launch.

Odds seem good that SCII will indeed be finally arriving this year. But you never know when Blizzard will suddenly decide that something isn't enough, and suddenly impose a delay.

Thanks to World of WarCraft, they've got all the time in the world.
