StarCraft 2: Heart of the Swarm Gameplay and Details

By Mark

StarCraft 2: Heart of the Swarm is undoubtedly on the radar of a lot of PC gamers out there and with good reason. It's not a great deal but Blizzard have released a short gameplay trailer for the upcoming title as well as revealing some details that you can expect to see upon release.

In an excerpt from PC Gamer, the following was revealed:

• Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm features Kerrigan as a hero character in nearly all of the missions. She's able to swap between four ability types. The first two shown include a Zerg style corruption form, and a Ghost style Spec Ops form
• In single-player, you'll be able to upgrade every unit in the Zerg arsenal, eventually splitting each of them into brand new unit types.
• Examples shown so far include Zerglings that can spawn immediately, or leap at their enemies like raptors, Banelings that split apart or turn their kills into minerals and gas, or Roaches that heal themselves with every kill, or can move when burrowed.
• There will be new units in multiplayer for all the races, but Blizzard have yet to confirm what they'll be.
• Kerrigan has a new haircut. 

I'm sure it's that last detail that you were most interested in, as for a release date for Heart of the Swarm, Blizzard have said that it's unlikely to appear in 2011 but fans of the series should know by now that it'll come eventually. For now, here's the gameplay.
