Article Why 'StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm' Was Delayed So Long
StarCraft 2: Heart of the Swarm was originally expected to be released in 2011, or early 2012 at the latest.

Well…there's a slight snag. We did produce an elaborate, gorgeously-rendered 3 minute opening cinematic. The scale of the thing is unbelievable – staggering, even.
