Blizzard executive Greg Canessa told in an
interview with GDC Online that the next StarCraft game,
StarCraft 2: Heart of the Swarm, 'is 18 months away', which pins it to
a 2012 release date.
One inquiry may have led Canessa to tip Blizzard's hand about the
release date of the first expansion to Stacraft II: Wings of Liberty,
Heart of the Swarm. When discussing such future Battle.net features as
trading replays, broadcasting replays, and upgrading profiles, he said
they were "a main area of focus we're going to be seeing on the
Starcraft [II] side over the next 18 months between now and Heart of
the Swarm." (Emphasis added.)
The next Zerg rush might not come until early 2012.
Such a time frame would have the expansion arrive in either March or
April, 2012. Heart of the Swarm is the second installment in the
three-part Starcraft II saga, the first of which, Wings of Liberty,
focused on the human faction. Heart of the Swarm will concentrate on
the Zerg faction of the real-time strategy, while the third installment
in the real-time strategy trilogy, Legacy of the Void, will focus on
the sinister Protoss faction.
