LEAKED: StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm Ending

The ending for Heart of the Swarm has been leaked before we even know when it's going to hit retailers.

By now we've all gotten over the excitement that came with the much-anticipated StarCraft sequel, StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty. Still, thanks to Blizzard's decision to split the StarCraft sequel into several parts, we still have a couple of chapters left to look forward to.

Unfortunately, it seems the ending of the second chapter, Heart of the Swarm, has already been leaked. Last night, a video showing four unrefined minutes of what purports to be Heart of the Swarm's ending found its way onto the internet. It has since been pulled from YouTube and Vimeo (citing copyright infringement), which lends a little weight to its authenticity, but lucky for us, a kind soul has re-uploaded it to YouTube.

I won't ruin the ending for you guys (I took a hit for the team in the name of research – you're welcome), but if you're interested in seeing it you can check it out below. Just be warned that it is nowhere near polished. You'll notice what look like unfinished storyboard images and a distinct lack of lip-syncing, but other than that, it's kind of awesome.

This video likely won't be up for long, so if it disappears, click through to Kotaku and watch it there.
