Badfur 13 Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 On March 12, 2013, Blizzard's next game in the Starcraft II trilogy will be released. Starcraft II: Heart Of The Swarm continues the story of the previous game, Starcraft II: Wings Of Liberty; this time with an emphasis on the Zerg. As the name suggests, players of this game will be following the story of the Zerg, gaining an in depth understanding of the 'heart' of the Swarm. The former Queen of Blades, Sarah Kerrigan will be playing a large part in the single player storyline. Blizzard has also announced this sequel will contain several new multiplayer units: including the tempest, viper, and widow mine; as well as changes to existing units and structures. In addition to new units, new maps and community features will be available. Some of the new community features include: a 'players near me' option, unranked play, support for clans and groups, and global play (being able to play in your native language in any region). The Starcraft II game editor is also getting some improvements: advanced functionality for game cinematics, superior UI editing, new animations and models, improvements to working with terrain and triggers, and libraries of functions to ensure that making your own maps and mods is faster and deeper. Dustin Browder, Blizzard's lead designer for Starcraft, mentioned in an interview that Blizzard put together a full training mode, which should better help carry campaign players over to the complicated multiplayer game, and a new AI challenge mode. The game will be priced as an expansion. It will be available for purchase online, and in stores, for $40. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SG_3R9BoVvg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
