StarCraft 2 expansion Heart of the Swarm (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/starcraft-2-heart-of-the-swarm) deploys on March 12, 2013, according to a listing on Battle.net. There isn't an official announcement yet, but the digital purchase page (https://us.battle.net/account/management/digital-purchase.html?product=S2&gameRegion=NA) for StarCraft 2 indicates Heart of the Swarm will be "available for play" on said date. The second expansion, combined with StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty, is currently priced $59.99.
During Activision's earnings call last week, Blizzard head Mike Morhaime said his studio was "working hard towards a first half 2013 launch (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/11/07/blizzard-working-hard-to-launch-starcraft-2-heart-of-the-swar/)" for Heart of the Swarm. This release date matches up, but it's surprising to see so soon after the reveal of a vague timeframe.
Update: Blizzard confirm Heart of the Swarm arrives in stores and online on March 12, 2013, released individually at an expected price of $39.99. The game will also be available in Digital Deluxe and Collector's Edition versions, priced at $59.99 and $79.99 respectively.
The Digital Deluxe version includes a Torrasque look for Ultralisks, new Battle.net decals and portraits, a Baneling pet for World of Warcraft, and a new sigil for Diablo 3 along with zerg wings for your character. The Collector's Edition includes all of what's in the Digital Deluxe version, and in addition a behind-the-scenes DVD/Blu-Ray, unique soundtrack, Heart of the Swarm hard-cover art book, and 'Zerg Rush' mousepad.
