We don’t. The version of the game you are playing now is actually a beta version. We were testing our balancing techniques and caught bugs. So everything is going smooth and we are making the Zerg race now to add to the game. Our guys went crazy about the Zergs so we decided to tease you a bit. Here is the Zergling model that was done recently. Soon we will open the Zerg part of the website and you will be able to see all models there.

By the way. Do we have hallucinations or it is better than Blizzard’s, huh?

At the Russian game convention “Igromir 2009″ [literally means "Gamesworld"] where Blizzard

is represented,Chris Sigaty answered  some questions in the panel.

One of them is related to the Beta Start

Q: When will StarCraft 2?
A: Tomorrow (laughter). Usually Blizzard we’re not talking about dates.

While we plan for next year to do a beta test.
As soon as we feel that the game is finished we will release it soon.

This is an indirect but explicit  announce that controverts Mike Morhaimes words:

“I’m confident the beta will start this year,”

At this rate we can pre-order Starcraft II for our grandchildren.
