StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm (spoilers, obviously)

[NCC1701]

I can't believe there isn't a thread on this yet, granted we are a year away from (alleged) release, but still...

Where do you think they're going with this? I hope Kerrigan doesn't turn into the big bad again after all the effort Raynor went through in WoL. Nice to see Nova again, though! What do you all think?

i'm also happy to see Nova. more Nova, please!

I can't see them moving the allegiances of their three protagonists: Raynor, Kerrigan and Zeratul should retain the racial identities they had at the beginning of the game.

So I'll guess that the person the Terrans captured is not Kerrigan, but an imposter, (possibly created by the Protoss), and intended to be captured so they can spy on their Terran nemesis, like a bug.

Real Kerrigan is hiding. She remains part of the Zerg, she will lead the next chapter as the Zerg push back.

Doesn't show much, but it's good to see something about it.

Edit: Here's one showing a little gameplay and a few new units.

So, Terran, Terran, and Protoss, leaving us with no Zerg?

^ we're talking about the game starcraft 2, not starcraft 1.

So what's the deal with this edition; I gather Kerrigan is the hero character this time, and the player can be switch her between Ghost and Corrupted forms at will between missions? That sounds kind of cool.

From wikipedia:

The plot of Heart of the Swarm begins where Wings of Liberty ends.[7] It will focus on the Zerg species and feature Sarah Kerrigan as the protagonist, but it is not known if she will be a hero or villain in the story.[8]
