Heart of The Swarm Preview: Hands On

Post by Aaryn_GenD »

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmes ... _id=228212

pretty nice, there were leaked trailers before (especially  the spoiled ending), but a hands-on test is so much better

Q: Will Heart of the Swarm require ownership of Wings of Liberty?

A: For the regions that have a standard box business model such as North America and Europe, yes, Wings of Liberty will be required in order to play Heart of the Swarm. For other regions that have alternative access models, we’ll provide details at a later date.

Q: How much will Heart of the Swarm cost?

A: We typically don't provide details about pricing until the game is closer to release. We do view Heart of the Swarm as an expansion set, so for the regions that have a standard box business model such as North America and Europe, we will price accordingly. For other regions that have alternative business models, we’ll provide details at a later date.


We're going to add some new multiplayer units, and take out some multiplayer units and we're going to try to make it really great
and there will be a beta, only multiplayer

I'd call it a great expansion if the only feature it added was cross-region play.

Allthough Im a bit sceptical about releasing another expansion, I think its a bit too early.

Yep, the beta hasn't even begun and it will be quite long because they have to balance MP anew
