Starcraft 2 Heart of the Swarm Strategy Guide

Welcome to the future Starcraft 2 Heart of the Swarm strategy guide. I will be putting up information from Starcraft 2 Heart of the Swarm on this guide as it becomes available.

In particular, you can expect for information on new units, how these units might effect competitive games, new Heart of the Swarm strategies, and a campaign guide (once the campaign comes out, of course).

Right now, this page is still a placeholder, although I will be updating our "overview" page with basic information as it becomes available. Be sure to check back regularly for updates as I will be adding information regularly.

For now, here is the table of contents of this Heart of the Swarm Guide:

  • Heart of the Swarm Strategies (coming soon)
  • Heart of the Swarm Campaign Guide (coming soon)
  • Heart of the Swarm - New Units (coming soon)


Starcraft 2 Heart of the Swarm Guide - About HoTS

If you are unfamiliar with Starcraft 2 Heart of the Swarm, it is the new expansion pack for Starcraft 2 slated to come out in the Spring of 2012. This date of course is subject to change but right now there is no indicator that it will be delayed.

I do suspect that even if Heart of the Swarm is ready to go, it's release date will be highly dependent upon Diablo 3. Diablo 3 is supposed to be launched before Heart of the Swarm, and they will not want these two games to launch too closely together.

In short, you can expect Heart of the Swarm to come out in Spring 2012, as long as Diablo 3 comes out by November or December or 2012. They do not want those two games to release too closely to each other, as Diablo 3 has so much hype surrounding it that it could easily overwhelm Heart of the Swarm (since it is just an expansion pack and not a main release).

If you were not an original Starcraft player, note that the expansion of Starcraft, Brood War, included as much single-player content as the original. You can expect a full campaign (for Zerg this time), likely to be the same size as the campaign in Starcraft II.

Also, for competitive online play, you can expect the introduction of 1-2 units for each race. For example, Brood War introduced multiple new units for each race as well as new upgrades for previously existing units.

It is also likely that Zerg will get some campaign-only units, much like players were able to use in the campaign mode of Starcraft 2.

Be sure to check this page regularly as I will be updating it with content as more Heart of the Swarm information becomes available.
