Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm to be released next year March 12, 2013

I was checking my Facebook page a few days back when I saw this picture from StarcraftPH's fan page. It really got me excited because finally there is a date already for the next expansion of Starcraft II. Back in 2011, I have installed the first release of Starcraft II Wings of Liberty on my Macbook and a few years before that I was playing Starcraft Battlechest. I was a late gamer of Starcraft but when I played it, I was really hooked.

You can read more stuff about Heart of the Swarm on Blizzard's page here. In case you want to know the system requirements of the game, I've placed it here for your reference.
