The China’s Ministry of Culture approved StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty on January 19, 2011 allowing NetEase to go ahead with launching the game. World of Warcraft 3.3.5 was approved in January 6, 2011. The minor patch (US version) introduced Assault on Ruby Sanctum, and the Battle.net Real ID.

NetEase and Blizzard Entertainment haven’t revealed an official launch date plan for StarCraft II in China at the time of this report.
