Impressive StarCraft 2: Heart Of The Swarm Opening Trailer Debuts

January 22, 2013

The Queen of Blades is back.

Blizzard Entertainment has released the opening trailer for StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm, and as with previous intro videos from the talented studio it's a sight to behold. Actually, it's so good that it makes you wonder why Blizzard isn't busy making full-length feature films.

For the first time ever the massive ultralisk and gundam-style viking are seen in rich cinematic 3D. Oh, and of course Sarah Kerrigan makes a presence. She's definitely not someone—or something—to be messed with.

I think the top-rated YouTube comment says it best:

I must say that by far the worst part of this was when I realized that the game doesn't come out for another month and a half.

Look out for StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm when it releases on March 12th.
