StarCraft 2 has been released several months ago and thousands of players are looking forward to the first expansion pack – the Heart of the Swarm.
As the name tells, it will be focused on the Zergs. But what campaign will it bring? New units? And what about the release date? Continue reading!
Update May 30th – A Teaser leaked!
In August 2010 Blizzard stated that it will take about 18 months to finish the Heart of the Swarm expansion – which leads us to presume it will be released during the beginning of 2012.
The HotS campaign continues after the end of Wings of Liberty – the main focus is put on Kerrigan.
Player will take control of her in kind of RPG style and evolve her personal power – the greater power the more Zerg she is able to control.
There will be no cash like in the original campaign but possibility to select the next mission remains – a branched storyline structure will be used.
Also, more will be seen of the Kel-Morian Combine and Umojan Protectorate.
The only expansion of StarCraft 1 – BroodWar – has brought several new units to the gameplay so it`s likely that we`ll see some new stuff here as well.
But what these units will be? A lot of original Broodwar units were replaced by new ones (for example Medic by Medivac, Devourer by Corruptor, Valkyrie by Viking) – only Lurker remains as the possibility number one. An infested bunker was mentioned at Blizzcon 2010. But nothing has been officially confirmed yet…
Again, we don`t know anything for sure yet – but some indications are that the price for StarCraft 2 expansion will be about $30.
Blizzard said that despite the amount of work on the campaigns, the company still views them as expansions, not additional games.
