Warcraft III delayed

Blizzard decides to hold back the release of the long-awaited sequel.

Comments

Blizzard has announced on its official site that Warcraft III will not be ready by the end of this year, but the development team is working hard to get the game finished sometime in 2002. "Our goal at Blizzard is to make the best games possible," Blizzard said in the announcement. "This means that we will not release a game until it's ready. While we could release an inferior product to meet a specific date, we instead choose to polish our games until they meet the superior quality that we know Blizzard gamers and our development teams expect. We firmly believe that this additional development time will prove invaluable, ensuring that Warcraft III will expand upon the legendary gameplay experience previously found in the critically acclaimed Warcraft series."
