StarCraftWire.net has word from the Activate Asia Pacific event where
Activision Blizzard's Philip Earl said their next year's offerings "should
include"
StarCraft II. There has been speculation that the sci-fi RTS
sequel would be a 2009 release, but this is a bit more concrete than that, but
by no means definitive, given Blizzard's long history of shifting release dates
to allow for further development.
