Continue the Story Where Wings of Liberty Left Off

Heart of the Swarm picks up the story of StarCraft II where the
2010 release, Wings of Liberty, left off, focusing on Kerrigan's
quest to reunite the Swarm and exact revenge on Arcturus Mengsk.
Over the course of 20 campaign missions, players will follow
Kerrigan as she sweeps across the galaxy, incorporating a variety
of distinctive zerg species into her brood. Kerrigan will grow in
strength from mission to mission, and players will be able to
customize her with powerful new abilities, as well as evolve
various zerg strains into fearsome new subspecies to suit their
play style.
New Weapons, Units and Multiplayer Features
-------------------------------------------
New weapons of war also debut in Heart of the Swarm's
multiplayer, including new units such as Terran Hellbats, Zerg
Swarm Hosts, and Protoss Tempests, while certain existing units
from Wings of Liberty will be updated with new capabilities. New
features will enhance the game experience, including group and
clan systems; unranked matchmaking; Global Play, enabling players
to battle others in different regions around the world;
additional stat tracking; user interface improvements; an
enhanced physics system, for more visceral looking battles;
multiplayer replays, to watch replays with friends; a leveling
system that gives Heart of the Swarm players a new way to earn
customization options for their online profiles; and much more.
An all-new, Zerg-based campaign, that focuses on Kerrigan.
