Blizzard Entertainment president Michael Morhaime has revealed today that StarCraft II will enter closed beta later this month and is targeted for a mid-2010 release.
"We're slated to begin beta testing later this month. The beta test will be conducted on a global scale including thousands of testers from North America, Europe, Korea, Taiwan Australia, and New Zealand," he said during today's earnings conference call.
"We expect a tremendous response from our players and we're eager to enter this stage of development as we enter the final stretch before release," he continued, right before adding that Blizzard hopes the closed beta will generate "excitement" for the title PC gamers
Really, you think? Can you guys get any more excited?

Hell, if you said "Starcraft II" in conversation, I would've already assumed that game was out.
(For the dumnasses out there: "Yes I get that the screen shot isn't the entire map. Duh! ;-p)
i would suggest watching some Battle Reports.
the maps are perfect
How do you miss out on Starcraft 1? Thats like missing out on... Starcraft 1!
But it might just be me, because I dont really care about Diablo 3 either.
