he StarCraft® II team recently unveiled their progress on the StarCraft® II: Heart of the Swarm single-player campaign, which explores the fate of Sarah Kerrigan, the Queen of Blades. To learn more about this next evolution in StarCraft® II's gameplay and storytelling, the Blizzard Insider recently sat down with Game Director Dustin Browder.
