Starcraft 2: Heart Of The Swarm Like most Blizzard games, Heart Of The Swarm doesn’t actually have a concrete release date; all we know is that it will be ready “when it’s ready.” Blizzard has been conducting beta tests of the Heart Of The Swarm multiplayer mode for some time, suggesting that Heart Of The Swarm will almost certainly be ready for release this holiday season. Its length should be roughly equivalent to that of Starcraft 2: Wings Of Liberty, with about 20 single-player campaign missions that continue the story of the previous game while allowing players to take control of the Zerg race. More controversially, the multiplayer mode will likely be completely overhauled and will require players to master new units, skills, and tactics.
