StarCraft II Lead Designer, Dustin Browder told Kotaku that the upcoming expansion for StarCraft II, Heart of The Swarm is 99% completed. He added that the last 1% is a bit of a 'bitch'. The missions and units are done and playable but the polishing and fine tuning is very difficult. "It’s the tuning and polish that really takes us a long time, and that’s where we get into the unknowns" he said. What this means is that it will be coming out in the year 2024(just kidding by the way). "Like we could do a play-through next week that we’re like, ‘Wow this is really great.’ Or we could do a play-through and we still have 250 items we wanna fix. You know, historically speaking we’re doing pretty well. We’re getting there. But I don’t know for sure yet when we’ll be done.". Blizzard hasn't put down a release date for the game, but based on Activision investor reports, the game is targeted for a late 2012 or early 2013 release. Thankfully, if you've missed this news, Blizzard has decided to ditch the whole restricting players to their region.
