One of the games that defines an entire genre is the Starcraft series. The first game was mostly responsible for the mainstream appearance of strategy games in eSports. In 2010, Blizzard had released the first part of the sequel to the Starcraft games, titled Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty. Wings of Liberty deals with the story of the Terrans (humans in space). The game is very popular in both casual and competitive multiplayer scenes. Now, according to a post on the Battle.net blog, the beta for the second part of the game, titled Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm, has started.The beta for Heart of the Swarm is set to be multiplayer-only and will mostly help Blizzard in ironing out the bugs and balance issues in the game. The good news is that the beta testers for the game are not under any NDA, so we will soon start seeing screenshots and videos of the Heart of the Swarm come up all over the internet. According to Blizzard, only the multiplayer and some of the units are playable in the beta right now, but “Additional Heart of the Swarm features will also become available in future phases of the beta test. More details will be announced at a later date.”Click here for full story
