Taken straight from Kotaku:

''Blizzard plans to show off the single-player side of StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm for the first time next month, offering an early look at the first expansion for and follow-up to StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty.

We received an invite to see Heart of the Swarm earlier today, promising that we'd see a small portion of the game's campaign, but warning that we won't see any changes or additions to the multiplayer side of StarCraft II at this stage.

Blizzard has indicated that it plans a different approach for the first StarCraft II expansion, one that focuses on Sarah Kerrigan and the Zerg legions for its campaign. It's expected that Heart of the Swarm will include some RPG-like mechanics and perhaps include new Zerg units.

Just because Blizzard is planning to show off Heart of the Swarm next month doesn't necessarily mean it's due this year. Blizzard has indicated that we will likely see the next StarCraft II game in early 2012. Note that we got our first look at the StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty campaign nearly a year in advance of the game's release.

Heart of the Swarm is the second part of a planned StarCraft II trilogy.''

So no multiplayer information quite yet but still nice to hear.

Additional Articles:
SC Legacy

EDIT: Geez Guys, listen to SOTG, JP says the preview will be shown within the next week. This is not false information. >_>

UPDATE: The Blizzard HQ has been visited by the press! Now we just have to wait for intel >_>

UPDATE (2): -Teaser Trailer has been leaked.
-No official information has been released as of yet
-Many posters have mentioned that the NDA will be lifted within a week`s time

UPDATE(3):I think we finally have an official date of when the NDA is lifted. Giantbomb has a ''Coming up'' section on it's new homepage and the third item in the list is ''Plunging Hands-on into the Heart of...''. The date next to this is the 31st of May. I think it is safe to say we'll be seeing Heart of the Swarm sometime within the next 3 days.

UPDATE(4): A friendly TLer found these leaked photos!

I'm not the only one who immediately thinks of WC3 when he hears about RPG-like mechanics, right? Not sure I want to level up Kerrigan and manage her inventory etc.

New Zerg units should be cool, I expect one of these to be added to the MP eventually.

Thanks for sharing the information.
Nothing about multiplayer though Nonetheless I can't wait to see how will the single player scenario unfold.

Yes, it's an expansion pack. It expands on the base (WoL).

@zhurai:
Yes it will. It's an expansion and requires the game content from WoL to work.

It's the single player mode... I don't think it'll be that horrible.

Obviously... You act as if Blizzard only has 1 footage to show and that's it until the release.

I guessing this refers to the campaign mechanics such as purchasing new technology/upgrades and choosing specific missions. They'll probably put a new twist on this for the Zerg campaign but I wouldn't expect to see any drastic changes to the game play, only the storytelling.

So no multiplayer information quite yet but we'll definitely get a better idea of what to expect when the expansion finally does release.


Yeah they should take their time with multiplayer imho.
No one ever remembers second place, eh? eh? GIVE ME COMMAND
