StarCraft 2: Heart Of The Swarm Opening Cinematic Unleashed

We are fast approaching the dawn of a new set of moaning and complaining about balance. By that I mean that StarCraft 2: Heart Of The Swarm is almost ready for release. I am a huge fan of the franchise and when it comes to cinematics, I don’t think there are many to match Blizzard. As you can see, once again they have come up with another beautiful opening cinematic that I am sure will have many a mouth watering at the long awaited expansion.

As we speak Blizzard are still releasing balance patches to the multiplayer that is still in beta, I have no doubt that changes will be made long after its release and all the way up to the final expansion based around the Protoss.

To give you an idea of the story (if you are unfamiliar), here is a little excerpt from Battlenet to help you out with what has gone on up to this point.

The Queen of Blades is gone. On the hellish planet Char, Jim Raynor harnessed the power of an ancient Xel’Naga artifact in a desperate bid to stop the Zerg Swarm from overrunning the Koprulu sector, and the artifact restored Sarah Kerrigan to her human form. Without their queen to guide and unify them, the Swarm has fractured into several broods scattered throughout the Koprulu sector. One of the greatest threats to the galaxy has been neutralized… or so it seems.

That’s basically the ending of StarCraft 2: Wings Of LIberty, Blizz, in regards to the start of the new expansion go on to say.

Sarah Kerrigan is on the loose. Even without the terrible powers of the Queen of Blades or the might of the Swarm at her command, the former Ghost remains a foe not to be taken lightly. But if the artifact really did set her free, then why is Kerrigan seeking out Zerg broods scattered throughout the Koprulu sector? Is she still pursuing her quest for vengeance, or has her transformation given Kerrigan a new purpose?

We already have a very busy March this year, with plenty of good games coming out on every platform, but I will certainly put time aside for this franchise as I am very interested in the continuing story. With the exception of Diablo 3, the boys at Blizzard tell a great story.

StarCraft 2: Heart Of The Swarm shall be infesting your PCs on March 12th, I would advise anyone new to the multiplayer to join the beta and get practicing, it requires a lot of skill and patience to get build orders down and very simple early pushes can roll right over you if you don’t know how to defend them.

So get started, or worlds will burn, for they are the Swarm.
