We’re not sure what Blizzard has planned for the StarCraft franchise in the future, but for now gamers who are eager to play the game that will conclude the ongoing storyline will be pleased to learn that Legacy of the Void is now live. If you haven’t pre-loaded the game, you will have to download it, but for those who have, fire it up and you should be good to go.
According to Blizzard’s brief description of what gamers can expect from the story of the latest title, “The protoss armada has arrived and is ready to reclaim Aiur. In Legacy of the Void, brave commanders will embark on an intergalactic journey to unite the protoss race, take back their homeworld, and vanquish the ancient evil that now threatens to consume all life in the Koprulu sector.”
Like we said, Blizzard plans for Legacy of the Void to conclude the current StarCraft story, kind of like what BioWare is doing with Mass Effect: Andromeda in which Commander Shepard will no longer be the main character. According to Blizzard earlier this year, “StarCraft will live on as a universe. We hope to explore some other aspects of the universe, but the storyline that was setup in StarCraft I and continued in StarCraft II will resolve in Legacy of the Void. All of those main characters will reach a nice satisfying conclusion.”
In the meantime gamers who have yet to purchase the game can go ahead and do so by visiting Blizzard’s website. The game is priced at $40 for the standard edition, or if you’re feeling particularly lavish, the digital deluxe edition with additional goodies will set you back $60.
