SCII Beta Update: 5th Patch & Galaxy Editor/Beta Info

Posted on March 12, 2010 by: Quelex (SCII) News, (SCII) Patches, StarCraft 2 70 Comments

So Blizzard has confirmed that they are planning on getting the Galaxy Editor for SCII out during the Beta, and are hoping to get it out before the end of April.

“Yes. We’re still working on the Map Editor and currently working on the publishing system. We intend to release an early version of the editor during the beta so the map-making community can get a head start creating their own maps. This is going to be a stretch for us to pull off, but our hope is to get it out before the end of April.” – Blizz Tech Chat forum post
