The development team at Blizzard says that the official beta stage for its upcoming Starcraft 2: Heart of the Swarm will end on March 1, but that a private beta period will continue until launch date in order to give the studio more information about the game.

The team states, “We’re incredibly thankful for the feedback and data our testers have produced throughout the beta, and we hope that all testers continue to practice, prepare, and pursue XP levels in the beta through the end of February.”

Blizzard wants to also work with its eSports partners in order to make sure that Starcraft 2: Heart of the Swarm is in top shape on launch and it is featured in competitive matches as soon as it is out.

The game will be available exclusively on the PC on March 12.
