WoW saw StarCraft II pushed back
Game development began back in 2003
Word on the street this morning has it that the release of StarCraft II was delayed by at least a year because Blizzard were forced to focus on World of Warcraft.
StarCraft II has been playable since 2005, and work began back in 2003, even though the developer waited until 2007 to announce the game - Eurogamer reports.
"One of the reasons that StarCraft II had some delays very early on in development is because a fair amount of the design team went onto World of Warcraft for a year to really help finish that game off," Blizzard's Rob Pardo reveals.
"They had a lot of really great experience to bring, with their knowledge of how they approached the map editor problems, how they dealt with balancing - which we could then leverage into class balancing."
We're expecting beta news soon.
