With the highly anticipated real-time game on store shelves, is now directing resources to the of a new episode.

CVG spoke with lead software engineer Carl Chimes about the next step for II and while he was tight-lipped about the next episode, a tantalising detail was dropped.

"The next one will be Zerg-focused and it will be just as epic as Wings of Liberty."

Unsurprisingly, Blizzard is unwilling to commit to a release date for StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm. In fact, Chimes insisted, "We're still in the development process on that and we haven't even come close to announcing anything yet."

Prepare for another long wait, fans.
