Dustin Browder, lead designer on StarCraft II at Blizzard, says that the team is planning to have a publicly playable beta for the game that runs about âfour to six months.â When that would go live, Blizzard still isnât saying.
But considering that weâre already six months into 2009, a four to six month beta period is kind of cutting it close, if the game has any intentions of shipping this calendar year. Granted, Blizzard hasnât officially committed to that, but StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty is the companyâs best bet for a âfront line releaseâ this year. So⊠will it ship this year?

âItâs getting there,â Browder said, adding âWe can still make four!â
While what we played at Blizzardâs recent hands-on felt beta ready to us, weâre obviously not calling the shots. Browder says that StarCraft II needs to be in the best possible shape before it gets its beta coming out party.

âSo, we donât want to be in beta for nine months.â
Hey, neither do we!
