At Activision’s earnings call, Blizzard head Mike Morhaime announced that the team at Blizzard is hard at work to bring Starcraft 2: Heart of the Swarm expansion and are expecting to release “in the first half of 2013.”
While fans were expecting to have a release date set for this year after the last time Blizzard talked about the game, the 2013 release is to fix some balancing issues and polishing. Heart of the Swarm will feature a new single player campaign featuring the Zerg race, as well as several updates to the game’s multiplayer progression and Social features.
