Its final: Starcraft II will be released on July 27, 2010. Blizzard announced that Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty will simultaneously hit the stores in North America (United States, Canada) Europe, Asia and the Pacific (South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau) on that same day.

The games is available in two packages: A USD60 retail boxed copy and a USD100 collectors box copy which comes with an art book, a soundtrack and an exclusive in game pet for WoW (World of Warcraft) and some other cool Blizzard stuffs.
We will be seeing once again the Terrans battle it out with the Zergs and Protoss and for me this is really exciting since the game developers have been giving out some teasers for more than a year already.
The game time-line is set four years after the Starcraft: Brood War campaign ended and fans will be seeing familiar characters like Raynor, Zeratul, Kerrigan, Mengsk and many more.
