Watch The Opening Cinematic For ‘StarCraft II: Heart Of The Swarm’!

Are you looking forward to playing through the Zerg campaign of StarCraft II? Not yet? Well, if you want to keep it that way, you better not watch this video, as its absolutely phenomenal.

Blizzard today revealed the opening cinematic for the upcoming StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm. The company of course takes their cinematics very seriously, and this latest video is no exception.

Check out the video below, and get excited. StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm launches on March 12th, 2013.

The Queen of Blades is gone. On the hellish planet Char, Jim Raynor harnessed the power of an ancient Xel’Naga artifact in a desperate bid to stop the zerg Swarm from overrunning the Koprulu sector, and the artifact restored Sarah Kerrigan to her human form. Without their queen to guide and unify them, the Swarm has fractured into several broods scattered throughout the Koprulu sector. One of the greatest threats to the galaxy has been neutralized… or so it seems.

Sarah Kerrigan is on the loose. Even without the terrible powers of the Queen of Blades or the might of the Swarm at her command, the former Ghost remains a foe not to be taken lightly. But if the artifact really did set her free, then why is Kerrigan seeking out zerg broods scattered throughout the Koprulu sector? What happened to Jim Raynor? Is she still pursuing her quest for vengeance, or has her transformation given Kerrigan a new purpose? Who is Sarah Kerrigan?
