Said Pardo, "With any luck, it would be like a year for each successive one, but that's going to be a target date, that's not a promise."

Since SC2 won't be out until 2009, you won't be able to play the Protoss single player until at least 2011. That's a long time to wait. Check out what Rob said after the break, and start yer speculatin'.

Gamespy gave the bloke at Blizzard a good interview about the split up.

Looks like it could prove to be a good move.
Taking the links from singleplayer/multiplayer away means they can add extra features, such as giving a veteran character from the original Starcraft game access to much older technology, that had already been taken away in multiplayer games.
