There have been numerous rumors of the StarCraft 2 Legacy of the Void release date over the past year, but it seems that some of the rumors are true. While the dates have yet to be confirmed by Blizzard, a trailer has been released for all fans to revel in.
As previously reported, This year's Blizzcon showed an initial look at the upcoming game following previous expansions: StarCraft II: Heart of Swarm and Wings of Liberty. Legacy of the Void is set to be the concluding game to the 3-part arc.
According to the CEO and co-founder of Blizzard, Mike Morhaime:
"Protoss legends Artanis and Zeratul attempt to unite their race in an intergalactic fight for survival against an ancient evil from the Void that threatens the universe. The fates of Terran hero Jim Raynor and Kerrigan, the Queen of Blades, also hang in the balance. Legacy of the Void will deliver the quintessential StarCraft II experience. The new single-player campaign will wrap up the massive story, and we're excited to share new game modes that will open up different ways to play the game and additional units that will expand the rich strategic depth of StarCraft II multiplayer."
Producers have also announced that there will be two new modes for StarCraft 2: Legacy of the Void release date. Namely: Archon Mode, Allied Commanders Mode. The game's official website stated the following:
"Archon Mode is a competitive multiplayer mode, described as a new way to enjoy StarCraft II with friends. In Archon Mode, two players share control over a single base and units as they take on an enemy duo in multiplayer action. By sharing the responsibility of commanding troops and managing resources, players can focus on their own areas of the battle and execute more intricate strategies.
On the other hand, in Allied Commanders - a cooperative experience - players can team up and take on the roles of powerful commanders from the StarCraft saga. Each commander offers unique abilities and upgrades and bestows special bonuses on their armies. Players are able to battle through a series of special scenarios together, leveling up their commanders' capabilities as they progress.
New units have also been announced by Blizzard, and this announcement couldn't excite fans more.
"Multiplayer battles in Legacy of the Void will be fought with an array of new units, as well as upgrades to veteran forces. Zerg swarms will welcome the return of the Lurker, a classic creature from the original StarCraft that lays waste to infantry with deadly spines that burst from the ground. The Protoss field a new weapon called the Disruptor, which can use massive energy spikes to wreak havoc through swaths of ground forces. And the Terrans have engineered some new technology, such as Tactical Jump, which allows their Battlecruisers to teleport to any location on the battlefield. Several more new units and abilities were exhibited at BlizzCon, showcasing the new strategic and tactical options in store for players with Legacy of the Void." This according to the official site.
