StarCraft II Lead on Battle.net: Anything I Say Might be a Lie

StarCraft II's lead designer, Dustin Browder, has said that the new iteration of Blizzard's Battle.net, originally set for re-launch alongside his game, is "kind of up in the air".

Asked by Shacknews whether they could discuss the service in an interview, Browder said, "I can't tell you a whole lot because in reality, anything I say might be a lie. We're still working on it, and it's kind of up in the air. I kind of wish it wasn't, but it kind of is."

The reason for that, it would seem, is that Blizzard's plans for the service are spinning away from what they originally had planned.

"What you saw today is not where we're going", Browder went on. "It's a version that we have that has a lot of problems that we don't like. It was never meant to be the final version, but we're getting further and further away from that being close to the final version. We're trying to do more and more stuff."

So, when will we actually see the revitalised service launch. "And where it's at in the schedule is also sort of free-form right now", Browder said.

The re-vamped Battle.net was supposed to launch alongside StarCraft II, and that was meant to be this year.

Once the Battle.net overhaul is complete, players of Blizzard MMOs will have no option but to have an account and the service will feature a raft of new features.
