Blizzard have confirmed that Starcraft : Ghost has been delayed and will appear in 2004, instead of the previously set, late 2003 release date.
According to Blizzard, in order to meet our goals and deliver the outstanding gameplay experience our customers have come to expect from Blizzard products, we have decided to extend our StarCraft: Ghost development schedule through the end of 2003. The Ghost development team however, remains hard at work, and will deliver the tactical-action console game in 2004.
Blizzard believe that this additional development time will prove invaluable, ensuring that the game will truly expand on the legendary gameplay experience found in the previous StarCraft titles. The company finished the announcement with a Duke Nukem Forever type of statement StarCraft: Ghost will not be released until it's ready.
Let's hope that was a coincidence and that this highly anticipated game does manage to see the light of retail at some point.
