Blizzard vient de déployer une nouvelle mise à jour qui concerne la bêta d'Heart of the Swarm, dont la sortie, rappelons-le, est prévue le 12 mars 2013. Point de grands changements dans ce patch, si ce n'est la nouvelle amélioration passive des Mutalisks. Ces unités volantes verront leur vie se régénérer bien plus rapidement qu'auparavant. De plus, Blizzard revient sur le précédent patch, à propos de l'Armurerie et le Sanctuaire noir.
