Blizzard's Frank Pearce sat down with the folks of VG247 in a recent interview to discuss the upcoming release of Starcraft II and all other things Blizzard. Tucked away at the bottom of the interview was a comment that may have implied that Cataclysm could miss a 2010 release, something most WoW fans expect as a certainty at this point.

VG247: But Cataclysm [new WoW expansion] is set for release in 2010, so that should be out by the end of the year, yes?

Frank Pearce: Hopefully. If it’s ready. If not, then we’ll hold onto it. [Grins].

Sure, everyone knows the old adage of "when it's ready" that Blizzard strictly follows, but it's still surprising to hear that there is a chance Cataclysm may not make it for 2010.
