StarCraft II expansion sets to follow more quickly

Sigaty tells us the wait won't be as long

Speaking to this website in a brand new interview, StarCraft II lead producer Chris Sigaty has said that while the new RTS title has been in the works since 2003, the campaign expansion sets promised some months back will be delivered more quickly.

"We're targeting the end of 2009 for the release of StarCraft II, but as with all Blizzard games, we won't release a game until we feel it meets our high standards and the expectations of our players," he explained on the initial release.

He continued: "As for the expansion sets for StarCraft II, we don't have a timeline for those games, but with much of the groundwork done in Wings of Liberty, we're optimistic that we can develop those games on a more accelerated schedule than the core StarCraft II game."
