Heart of the Swarm

Heart of the Swarm is the name of the StarCraft II zerg campaign and episode.

It will be the second StarCraft II product and will be released separately from the other two games, Wings of Liberty and Legacy of the Void,[1][2] occurring after the former and before the latter chronologically.[3] It picks up directly from where Wings of Liberty left off.[4] It is expected to be priced as an expansion.[5]

The campaign is focused on Infested Kerrigan[6] and the development of a zerg empire.[7] The campaign operates similarly to an RPG, in which Kerrigan is focused on increasing her personal power through mutations. Zerg armies protect her as she garners this power.[8] The greater her power, the more zerg she's able to control.[9] Like Wings of Liberty, the player will be presented with choices as to which missions to carry out and which units to get, but such choices won't be based on cash.[10]

At this point in time, little to no development is going into Heart of the Swarm, Wings of Liberty being the current focus of the game's development.[9]
