HotS Preview
That's right fellas! Today I received an invitation to go to Blizzard HQ, at the end of May, to test some single player content from Heart of the Swarm. Now there will be no multiplayer content, that will be disclosed at a future date, only SP content will be playable at this tour. Though keep in mind, there is still no release date, this could potentially be pretty big. The Wings of Liberty preview was in April of 2010 and the game was released in July of that year. Perhaps HotS is coming sooner than we think? However, the February ActiBlizz Conference Call made it clear that there were currently no plans to release any games in 2011. Confusion!
Kotaku did a nice little write-up about their thoughts on what this means, feel free to take a look.
Something to also think about for us Mappers is that the War3: RoC Editor got some pretty big updates after TFT was released. I'm expecting major updates to the GalaxyEditor with HotS, so I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens. I'll fill you all in after all of this goes down, but it's still a bit more than a month away.
For discussion, use this thread. That way we can actively chat about this stuff after this post gets bumped down.
