Rather unsurprisingly, StarCraft II expansion Heart of the Swarm is selling quite well. Just after 48 hours its launch last week, Heart of the Swarm sold 1.1 million copies, digital and retail numbers combined.
“We want to thank the global StarCraft community for the incredible passion and support they’ve shown for Heart of the Swarm,” said CEO Mike Morhaime. “In addition to a brand-new single-player campaign, we added a ton of enhancements with this expansion to make StarCraft 2 even more fun to play, and more exciting to watch.
“We’re pleased to see gamers and eSports fans around the world enjoying Heart of the Swarm.”
Heart of the Swarm managed to post the same sales numbers in two days what SimCity managed in two weeks. Considering that the expansion has now been on sale for well over a week, it'll be interesting to see just how well it sold in the same time span. While it won't be another Diablo III, which was at the 6.3 million mark after the first week, it's sure to be something quite as impressive.
