New Battle.net to be massive
Griffith and co talk up platform
StarCraft II was pushed back to 2010 in order for the release to coincide with the launch of an ambitious new Battle.net multiplayer service, Activision talking up the significance of the new online platform - which could be the firm's answer to Xbox Live.
"Our mission is to develop games that deliver an epic entertainment experience. As part of that commitment, we will always take as much time as needed to ensure that our games and services meet the expectations of our players and the standard for quality that we set for ourselves as developers," reads word from Blizzard.
"As we work to make Battle.net the premier online gaming destination, we'll also continue to polish and refine StarCraft II, and we look forward to delivering a real-time strategy gaming experience worthy of the series' legacy in the first half of 2010."
