"Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm" is in stores on Tuesday, and Blizzard wants to make sure buying it is the only thing on your mind. There was a giant launch event Monday night, there are ads online and on TV, but the company held back its ultimate weapon until now. "Viva la Dirt League," a New Zealand band who call themselves "the closest thing the internet has to a 'Starcraft' boyband," released the music video for their newest song, "Call of the Swarm."
If the tune sounds familiar, it's because, like many of "Viva la Dirt League's" songs, the track is set to the tune of "Chasing the Sun" by The Wanted.
The best part about "Call of the Swarm" isn't that it's a "Starcraft"-themed music video, (though that it is pretty great,) but that the song is the "official music video of "Heart of the Swarm." According to the band, the song was produced "in association with Blizzard" for the expansion release.
Which brings me to my next question: "Why don't more video games have official music videos?" Your move "League of Legends."
