StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty is a science fiction real-time strategy
video game developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment. It was
released worldwide in July 2010 for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X. A
sequel to the 1998 video game StarCraft and the Brood War expansion
pack, the game is split into three installments: the base game,
subtitled Wings of Liberty, an expansion pack, Heart of the Swarm, and
a stand-alone expansion pack, Legacy of the Void. In March 2016, a
campaign pack called StarCraft II: Nova Covert Ops was released.Like
its predecessor, the game revolves around three species: the Terrans
(humans), the Zerg (a super-species of assimilated life forms), and
the Protoss (a technologically advanced species with vast psionic
powers). Wings of Liberty focuses on the Terrans, while the
expansions, Heart of the Swarm and Legacy of the Void, focus on the
Zerg and Protoss, respectively. The game is set four years after the
events of 1998's Brood War, and follows the exploits of Jim Raynor as
he leads an insurgent group against the autocratic Terran Dominion.
The game includes new and returning characters and locations from the
original game.The game was met with critical acclaim, receiving an
aggregated score of 93% from Metacritic. Similar to its predecessor,
StarCraft II was praised for its engaging gameplay, as well as its
introduction of new features and improved storytelling. The game was
criticized for lacking features that existed in the original StarCraft
game including LAN play and the ability to switch between multiplayer
regions. At the time of its release, StarCraft II became the
fastest-selling real-time strategy game, with over three million
copies sold worldwide in the first month. In November 2017, Wings of
Liberty became free-to-play.
