Game-debate already informed you some weeks ago that the beta of the new expansion from Starcraft 2, Heart of the Swarm, will go live soon.

And to excitingly continue to report on this thread - the Starcraft 2 Beta is now live...

The chosen ones are now able to play and test the new expansion online. If you are not already a confirmed beta tester, then Blizzard are still intending on keeping their promise and those invitations will be sent out soon, so you can also save the world(s)!

The casual players do not yet have access, as we announced and predicted before right now only journalists and important gamers have access to the beta. There are no embargoes and restriction's placed on the beta testers so expect a flurry of content and videos soon.

You could have signed up a couple of weeks now, but if you forgot or didn't know, you may still check it out on www.battle.net (if you have a battle-net account). Starcraft 2 still remains the most-played online strategy game, and still remains a job for many gamers. 

 

Are you re-installing Starcraft 2?

Starcraft 2 always has a place on my PC. I love that game to death. It's been a long and painful wait for Heart of Swarm.
