As of BlizzCon 2016, they are not working on any more mission packs. Īt Gamescon 2016, Blizzard stated that they have no plans for additional mission packs moving into 2017. Īfter the release of the final part of the mission pack, fan reaction will be gauged to determine whether more mission packs will be released, or whether Blizzard should work on a new RTS game. The first three missions were released on March 29, 2016, and the second three on August 2, 2016. It was stated that StarCraft II would continue to receive downloadable campaign content post- Legacy of the Void in the form of "mission packs." The first of these, Nova Covert Ops, is a series of 9 missions released over a trio of installments. New content can only be accessed if a player buys the expansion. There are also upgrades to the multiplayer, "that's the whole point of the expansion or the second part." Each race is enhanced in some way. Įach expansion features a new campaign, with new units, abilities, and structures added. With the announcement of the release date of Heart of the Swarm, the cost of the first expansion was $40 USD for the standard edition, and $55 USD for the deluxe edition. Rob Pardo later described them as expansions from a multiplayer standpoint (much like Brood War) but sequels from a campaign standpoint. Heart of the Swarm and Legacy of the Void are considered to be expansion sets and are priced as such. Īll three races were completely developed for the multiplayer skirmish mode. Each campaign has 26-30 missions in total (including branching missions) and a set ending, rather than a cliff-hanger. In-universe the campaigns occur in sequence, each campaign beginning immediately after its predecessor. The story has been designed so that no previous knowledge of StarCraft is required to enjoy it. Each character has their own arcs, missions and dialog. Through a trilogy, they can create more content per campaign, such as movies, sets, props, characters, missions (including Easter egg missions) and so forth.
