StarCraft II’s Whispers of Oblivion prologue missions are available to play now by those who have pre-ordered StarCraft II Legacy of the Void digitally through Battle.net or at participating retailers.
Whispers of Oblivion is a three mission campaign featuring the legendary Dark Templar Zeratul.
Blizzard has also released new info on Legacy of the Void’s new game mode, Allied Commanders. The open-ended game mode with campaign-style objectives promises to breath new life into the StarCraft cooperative experience. Each player will choose a powerful commander to lead their army into battle. Players can level up these commanders to gain access to new units, abilities, and customization options for their armies.
Legacy of the Void will be available in a digital Standard Edition for £29.99, a physical Standard Edition, and a Digital Deluxe Edition for £44.99 including:
- Archon battle pet ready to join your side in World of Warcraft
- Void Seeker mount to charge through the Nexus in Heroes of the Storm
- Protoss card back to demonstrate your psionic potential in Hearthstone
- Protoss-themed portraits and unit skin for StarCraft II
A retail-exclusive Collector’s Edition featuring all the digital bonus items from the Digital Deluxe Edition, as well as a special edition of the upcoming full-colour hardcover StarCraft Field Manual; a DVD with cinematics and special features; and a CD soundtrack, will be offered at select retailers priced £59.99.
All pre-orders will also unlock the StarCraft Warrior Hero in Heroes of the Storm.
And finally, Blizzard has confirmed that StarCraft II expansion Heart of the Swarm is now a standalone game, meaning it no longer requires StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty in order to be played.
