LEAKED: StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm Ending
The ending for Heart of the Swarm has been leaked before we even know when it's going to hit retailers.
By now we've all gotten over the excitement that came with the much-anticipated StarCraft sequel, StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty. Still, thanks to Blizzard's decision to split the StarCraft sequel into several parts, we still have a couple of chapters left to look forward to.
Unfortunately, it seems the ending of the second chapter, Heart of the Swarm, has already been leaked. Last night, a video showing four unrefined minutes of what purports to be Heart of the Swarm's ending found its way onto the internet. It has since been pulled from YouTube and Vimeo (citing copyright infringement), which lends a little weight to its authenticity, but lucky for us, a kind soul has re-uploaded it to YouTube.
I won't ruin the ending for you guys (I took a hit for the team in the name of research – you're welcome), but if you're interested in seeing it you can check it out below. Just be warned that it is nowhere near polished. You'll notice what look like unfinished storyboard images and a distinct lack of lip-syncing, but other than that, it's kind of awesome.
This video likely won't be up for long, so if it disappears, click through to Kotaku and watch it there.

That kind of leads me to believe it is nothing more than a well-done fake. But then again, maybe they are just using the Transformer's soundtrack temporarily until they get their own music. I can definitely see that as being possible, since this video was never meant to be leaked.
well in it they kill Arcturus and the zerg are set free so probably at some point in HoTW Kerrigan goes Queen of blades again
it's quite cheesy even compared to starcraft standards. "this is justice" rofl

it's most likely just a placeholder like the voice acting
Blizzard has been sending cease and desist orders to websites hosting it so it gives it some credence but i'm still not sure if i can believe this.
If this is real, will the Zergs be a non-factor in the 3rd installment?
To be perfectly honest with you the only reason I believe this is real is because of the way Blizzard has reacted. Remain calm and I would have blown this off as a fake.

P.S. love the dialog, some OMG moments, and the Transformers soundtrack to the cutscenes.
Thanks! Updated accordingly (it may take a while for the story to update).
