The most reliable forecast said: "StarCraft II has applied the WCG, so it will possibly be published before Aug, 08"

However, Bizzard has not answered the official expression about StarCraft II for long time.



Let us analyse the general process of a game come into the market.

Firstly, game developping is divided into 4 stages: concept, produce, close beta & open beta.
The first two stages is unpublic for the game player. Chris Sigaty, the prime designer of StarCraft II said they'll start making SC II after FROZEN THRONE. However, because of WOW, they stop the previous process plan. Let's take a look the list of Bizzard game contents.

StarCraft 1998-4-1
StarCraf - Brood War 1998-11-30
DIABLO II 2000-6-29
DIABLO II - Lord of Destruction 2001-6-29
WarCraft3 - Reign of Chaos 2002-7-3
WarCraft3 - Frozen Throne 2003-7-1
World of WarCraft 2004-11-23
World of WarCraft - Burning Crusade 2007-1-16

From the data above we could deduce that during 2003-7 to 2004-11, StarCraft II is on its developing time-the concept period.

The foregone game has experienced two years developing cycle, StarCraft II is seemed to will be not overstep it.
