StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty is a military science fiction real-time strategy video
game currently under development by Blizzard Entertainment as a sequel to
the award-winning 1998 video game StarCraft.
The game is being developed for concurrent release on Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X.
StarCraft II is split into three installments: the base game
with the subtitle Wings of Liberty, and two expansion packs, Heart of the Swarm and Legacy of
the Void. On May 3, 2010, publisher Activision Blizzard announced that Wings
of Liberty will be released worldwide on July 27, 2010.[7][8][9]
Set in the 26th century in a distant part of the Milky
Way galaxy,
the game is built around three species:
the Terrans, human exiles from Earth; the Zerg, a race of insectoid
genetic assimilators; and the Protoss, a species with vast psionic power. Wings of Liberty will
focus on the Terrans specifically, while the expansions Heart of the
Swarm and Legacy of the Void will focus on the Zerg and
Protoss, respectively. The game is expected to be set four years after
the events of StarCraft: Brood War, and follow
the exploits of Jim Raynor as he leads an insurgent group against the autocratic Terran Dominion. The game will include
old characters from the original game,
as well as introduce new characters and locations to the franchise.
