StarCraft II continues the epic saga of the Protoss, Terran, and Zerg. These three distinct and powerful races clash once again in the fast-paced real-time strategy sequel to the legendary original, StarCraft. Legions of veteran, upgraded, and brand-new unit types will do battle across the galaxy, as each faction struggles for survival.
StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty's solo campaign will continue the epic saga where it left off in StarCraft: Brood War. The storyline chronicles the exploits of marshal-turned-rebel-leader Jim Raynor and features both familiar faces and new heroes. Players will be able to tailor the experience, choosing their own mission path and selecting technology and research upgrades to suit their playing style throughout the 29-mission campaign.
In addition to the solo campaign, dozens of multiplayer maps are available for competitive play through Battle.net. This improved version of the service has been built from the ground up to offer an unparalleled online play experience, with new features such as voice communication, character profiles and achievements, stat-tracking, ladders and leagues, cloud file storage, and more.
Build expert armies and collect all zerg and protoss research as you campaign through the stars.

In most cases, you're stuck with it. In the case of StarCraft 2? Well, Blizzard are finally offering a name change to its players, but there are a few things to be wary of. Read More »
As a fairly casual StarCraft 2 player, I tend to miss a lot of what goes on in the universe that surrounds the multiplayer matches that I so often lose horribly in. That's why I'm so fascinated by these Blizzard Creative Q&A's. The team recently dropped the 11th installment in the StarCraft 2 Q&A series, with a focus on how the three races in the RTS have evolved. Read More »
We all live on the internet, right? It always annoys me that, as a gamer, I'm still limited in what I can do online simply because of my physical location. Looks like Blizzard agrees; in the "coming months," StarCraft 2 is set to unlock cross-region functionality, meaning you'll be able to play against friends from all over the world. There are still some limitations to keep in mind, however. Read More »
It's a sign of the times, my friends. Only a couple of years after the release of the biggest RTS in a very long time, Blizzard has hinted that it may be interested in the idea of making a free-to-play version of StarCraft 2's multiplayer. Read More »
