Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm lead designer Dustin Browder has revealed that the Starcraft II expansion is 99% complete, though he admits that the remaining development is “a bitch”, dealing mostly with tuning and polish.
According to Browder, “There’s something in for everything—it’s whether we like it or not that’s an open question. It’s the tuning and polish that really takes us a long time, and that’s where we get into the unknowns.
“Like we could do a play-through next week that we’re like, ‘Wow this is really great.’ Or we could do a play-through and we still have 250 items we wanna fix. You know, historically speaking we’re doing pretty well. We’re getting there. But I don’t know for sure yet when we’ll be done.”
Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty was released on the 27th July, 2010.
