Today at BlizzCon, Day[9] sat down with members of the StarCraft II development team to discuss what’s next for the game. There are plenty of exciting changes coming, including new Co-op content, Multiplayer design changes, additions to the War Chest, and the transition to Free to Play. Read on to learn more.
Free to Play
Getting started with StarCraft II can be a bit confusing for new players. With options like Starter Edition, Legacy of the Void, and The Complete Collection, it wasn’t immediately clear which version to choose. That’s why we’re changing the name of the game from StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void to StarCraft II. With this change, we’re also introducing Free to Play content for each game mode.
New Co-op Content
Get ready for trouble, and make it double with the new Co-op Commander: Han and Horner. You read that right—we’re introducing a Commander with two characters. Matt Horner is the straightlaced and tactical Admiral of the Dominion Fleet, and his better half, Mira Han, commands her reckless and explosive mercenary forces.
