Blizzard publishes a global list of when the game will activate in each region.
Blizzard has put out a list of worldwide times when StarCraft II’s first expansion, Heart of the Swarm, will launch across the world.
Seeing as StarCraft II requires a connection to Blizzard’s Battle.net servers to play, even physical copies of Heart of the Swarm obtained early will not run before this time. Heart of the Swarm also requires a copy of StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty to play.
GameSpot’s review for StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm is in the works.
