About
StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm is a real-time strategy expansion developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment for Microsoft Windows and macOS, released on March 12, 2013. It is the second part of the StarCraft II trilogy and continues the story begun in Wings of Liberty.
The campaign follows Sarah Kerrigan, the Queen of Blades, after she is stripped of the Zerg power that once consumed her. Across worlds already scarred by war, she gathers a new swarm, evolves its broods, and hunts those who used her, while the Swarm itself begins to take on a voice and a will of its own. Alongside the campaign, the expansion deepened StarCraft II’s competitive multiplayer.
