In the long battle between Blizzard's standards and the calendar year, the calendar again came out the loser today with the announcement that the developer's anticipated RTS sequel StarCraft II has been delayed into the first half of 2010.

Blizzard attributed the delay to needing additional development time for the new version of its online service Battle.net, though it also stated it will take the extra time to "polish and refine" StarCraft II.


"Over the past couple of weeks, it has become clear that it will take longer than expected to prepare the new Battle.net for the launch of the game," said Blizzard in a statement.
