All-New Modes, Classic StarCraft II
Legacy of the Void introduces several new ways to enjoy StarCraft II's acclaimed real-time strategy gameplay. 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, execute more intricate strategies, and benefit from each other's unique expertise.
Co-op Missions provide players with an all-new way to enjoy StarCraft II with friends. In this objective-based cooperative play mode, players team up and take on the roles of powerful commanders from the StarCraft saga. Each commander brings unique abilities to the table, including specialized upgrades and army bonuses. Players will join forces to battle through a series of challenging scenarios together, leveling up their commanders' capabilities as they progress.
A host of new units will breathe new life into the online multiplayer battles that represent the core StarCraft II competitive experience. Zerg swarms will welcome the return of the Lurker, a classic creature from StarCraft: Brood War™ that lays waste to infantry with deadly spines which 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 focused on establishing air superiority with the Liberator, a versatile, heavily armed gunship with twin missile launchers and the ability to transform into a stationary air platform. Six units are being added in total—two for each race—with many existing units receiving updates.
In addition to the features listed above, Legacy of the Void also includes enhancements to online multiplayer in the form of automated tournaments, providing players with exciting ongoing events that support the competitive StarCraft II community.
Legacy of the Void is a standalone experience that does not require players to own StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty® or Heart of the Swarm®, which is also now available as a standalone game.
