Weird to see what could be infested Stukov considering he was already cured of his Zerg infestation earlier according to lore.

And of course, the Duran-Narud thing is even more confirmed now, if the name thing wasn't obvious enough.


+ Show Spoiler +
Yeah, agreed. I'd rather Stukov remain normal considering Blizzard did have those extra missions that came with a patch (and first in SC64 I think, lol) where you uninfest Stukov. He was one of the few cool Terran guys remaining IMO (though WoL did introduce a decent number).

wow these portrais just look so much more better than the old ones, it's amazing.

Have a nice day!

There's a lot of images in the spoilers that I could try to guess about, but most of it doesn't say much about the story, except

+ Show Spoiler +
that Stukov is in it, which is pretty weird. I won't make any judgements about that now. I didn't read the text in the spoilers, I just wanted to look at the pretty picture. The fact that Duran is around and doing weird shit isn't much of a spoiler cos we all saw that coming.

They removed Swarm campaign achievements, but it was possible to read their descriptions, where it says about not losing infested terrans during one of Skygeirr platform missions. Other achivement is about saving Infested Stukov from death (not letting him die). Seems like commando or semi-commando mission

Look at the box or the opening cinematic. Obviously, Kerrigan turns back into the Queen of Blades.

She will not turn into Queen of Blades. It will be completely new zergified character.

You should understand, that Queen of Blades =/= Sarah Kerrigan =/= current Kerrigan

If you actually look at the whole opening cinematic, she's still human..

I'd be surprised if she turned into the queen of blades again. It'd be pretty lame to have the whole WoL campaing focused on saving kerrigan only to have her infested again in the next expansion..

Queen of Blades =/= newly infested Sarah Kerrigan are different characters.

Yeah, right. They're gonna introduce Kerrigan's long lost evil twin in HotS.

I know it doen't probably mean a lot to you but as Existor stated the Queen of Blades and Sarah Kerrigan are different.
+ Show Spoiler +
The Queen of Blades is an entity that possesed Sarah Kerrigan (kind of the zergish manifestation of the Zergvirus in her head). It was the bloodthursty totally zergish Queen of Blades that had some kind of human free will but was a lot more Zerg or comparable to the Overmind himself than Sarah (I'd like to call her red eye mad Kerrigan) Srah though might transform into something that looks like the Queen of Blades but this time i guess only her body will be infested and her mind won't be occupied (violette eyes) Since i haven't played the game yet :-P I can't say if her mind is really "not at all" occupied by the Zergvirus or a behavior changing Zergentity. So this and also ending of the leaked trailer implies that she is more human and "milder" (if that's fair to say that after killing at least a couple more million people/creatures in HotS as well). But i think the most important part is that the things we know now from the Datamine imply as well that she might be a better/stronger version of the Queen of Blades. She goes back to Zerus and encounters the Primal Zerg. We don't know it yet but those big guys (Dehaka etc.) might be more like her or her broodmothers or the zerebrates. Or since Zerus is far far away from the koprulu sector those Zerg might have been without a leading entity since the Overmind died or even since he left. Don't know for sure but i assume, that the Queen of Blades maybe never knew of/took back control over the Zerg of Zerus after the overminds' death. The Final achievement (don't remember wether it was for campaign or leveling up Kerrigan to lvl70) was called 'Primal Queen' so she becomes something more than the Queen of Blades was. She regains control over the whole swarm and reunites it and probably learns a lot of new cool things since the Zerg on Zerus probably kept evolving seperatly as well.

So yes, she looks the same but she isn't the Queen of Blades anymore. She becomes the (probably stronger and human minded) Primal Queen.

From the leaked ending, it's obvious that...
+ Show Spoiler +
Kerrigan turns into the Queen of Blades, but retains her human personality.


To say that Kerrigan doesn't turn back into the Queen of Blades, while having the Queen of Blades on the box cover, in the opening cinematic and in the game, would imply that there physically exists another Zerg known as the Queen of Blades, who is not Kerrigan. While it's revealed (retconed) in WoL that the Queen of Blades is a separate personality in Kerrigan's mind, to suggest that the Queen of Blades will physically exist outside of Kerrigan's mind, as if the Zerg cloned her, is absurd.

Sorry, but that's not true.
+ Show Spoiler +
As i said Kerrigan becomes the Primal Queen (violette eyes) and that is what you see on every cover/loading screen and in the vision of herself Sarah had in her dream in the new cinematic.
But besides that the leaked ending also showed us that there indeed might be a (human) clone of Sarah that Arcturus uses to control the Primal Queen because she might still have a psionic link to her or whatever (campaign will show).

That's what I was referring to when I say Queen of Blades. They look the same, only purpler.

Where does the term "Primal Queen" come from? In the cinematic "purple Queen of Blades" calls herself "Queen of Blades".
