Synopsis: The second entry in Blizzard Entertainment's planned StarCraft II trilogy, the Heart of the Swarm expansion focuses on the insect-like Zerg race and its leader Sarah Kerrigan, who seeks revenge against Arcturus Mengsk, the Terran Emperor who tried to kill her. Set two years after Wings of Liberty, Heart of the Swarm's single-player missions include Kerrigan traveling back to the planet Char to fend off rogue queens and reassemble her swarm, and a trip to the ice planet Kaldir to search for a lost brood and learn how to adapt to frigid temperatures.


Multiplayer action remains core to the StarCraft II experience, and Heart of the Swarm offers a variety of new and altered units, new maps, and enhanced community features. Gamers can use the new Protoss tempest, Zerg viper, and the Terran widow mine units, while older units like the hellions and Protoss mothership can be transformed and upgraded. New maps take players to space stations, cities, jungles, and ice fields, with new dynamic terrain features and new death animations. Blizzard has also made changes to the Battle.net community to let players find matches, chat, and practice more easily, while the built-in Game Editor has been upgraded to make it easier to use. ~ Christopher Brown, All Game Guide
