Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm Trailer Shows New Social Features

Blizzard Community Manager, Kevin “Cloaken” Johnson, previews the new Starcraft expansion’s simplified main menu, new social features and previously revealed clan support.

The new menu features Kerrigan in the background. The video also shows one-click navigation to custom games, quick access to chat channels and join groups. Blizzard’s Players Near You feature also makes its debut in this video. This feature will notify players whenever another player on a local network launches HoS.

The new interface and features aim to grow the current game’s community communication system and make it easier for casual and newer players to interact with friends while playing.

Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm will be available March 12th.
