Starcraft 2 Release Date Announced

July 22nd, 2010 Locked and loaded.

Looks like I’m about to lose a bet (if gambling were legal). I was pretty sure Starcraft 2 was the stuff of myth, of legend, and wouldn’t come out until I was far and away from anywhere where people would convince me to get it. But no, two months from now.

And two months is far too long.

Hit the jump for some gameplay footage. I also recommend you to this fantastic post on Rock, Paper, Shotgun about Starcraft II as a sport, which is a lovely read and got me unreasonably excited for a game I am terrible at.
