Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment had this to say:

StarCraft II will pickup the story right after the events of the original StarCraft, chronicling the tale of Jim Raynor in a huge Terran campaign. You’ll also get full access to StarCraft II’s multiplayer features, such as the matchmaking found in the current beta, along with the custom games system we’ve all grown to love.

My micro skills were never quick enough to be great at StarCraft multiplayer, but I’ve always love the story line and the custom games. So while three months seems like a long time, I still might just hold my breath.

What do you think, Ranters? Is release too far out? Are you excited that StarCraft II is finally becoming a reality?
