Those of you looking forward to Blizzard's StarCraft: Ghost will have to wait until next year.

Blizzard have comfirmed the recent rumours about a delay to their highly anticipated StarCraft game. The reason? Blizzard say they want to "expand and evolve the design of its upcoming tactical-action console game." They intend to add new features and gameplay enhancements, so at least fans of the series will know that the extended wait will be worth it.

Mike Morhaime, president of Blizzard Entertainment, says: "We are very committed to StarCraft: Ghost as a major part of our lineup. As a result, we plan to build additional time into the schedule to polish the game until it meets the high standards that our customers have come to expect from Blizzard products.

"We are sorry to disappoint players with a delayed launch but are confident that we will deliver a great game with the additional development time."
