One such power, for example, is the ability to automatically spawn zerglings at your home base every 10 seconds for no cost.īut really that’s not the coolest part of the single player campaign the part that I thoroughly loved was the ability to mutate your core creatures to give them extra abilities. You are able to swap and change her powers before every level so you don’t need to worry about which paths you choose. You can then choose which powers to arm her with before each level. The more XP your character earns the more powers she gets to unlock. Unlike in Wings of Liberty this time you will play as Kerrigan in virtually every stage and with that comes the new ability to level up your hero.

It will be interesting to see how that plays out in the campaign. She no longer kills for thrills and has compassion for the enemy that the Zerg find unsettling. There is an underlying distrust between the lead Zerg characters and Kerrigan however as she is now more human and far less violent than she was previously. So your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to rebuild Kerrigan’s power while exploring the galaxy and re-uniting the swarm. This time around Kerrigan is seeking to get revenge over Mengsk for his betrayal. The campaign is entirely focussed on Kerrigan, Queen of the Blades. Then we got treated to the first ever viewing of the incredible Star Craft 2: Heart of the Swarm trailer which if I’ve been able to find it in time is embedded right below.Īfter which we jumped right into what has changed in Heart of the Swarm and why you are going to want to pick up a copy as soon as it’s available.

While the multiplayer beta is already in full swing this gave us some time to check out the single player and get some inside information about what shall soon be coming to the StarCraft 2 universe.įirst up we were ferried into the boardroom to chat to the Production Director, Chris Sigaty, and Senior Art Director, Sam Dider. Last week I was lucky enough to be flown over to Versailles in France to get some exclusive hands on time with the upcoming second part of StarCraft 2, Heart of the Swarm.
