Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm Development Begun

Rob Pardo revealed to MTV that work on Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm has begun. It is on a hardcore art and programming stage, tinkering ideas.

The interface for the Zerg and later for the Protoss episodes will be different from each other. For Terrans, it made sense to have Jim Raynor in the Hyperion move from room to room: Bridge, Catina, Lab, Armory.

As for multiplayer, Pardo compared Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm content with Brood War. That strongly hints new units in the horizon; and hopefully the return of old school units like the Lurker.
