StarCraft II Is Celebrating Its 10th Anniversary With A Bunch Of New Content

By Camilla Wolfe

StarCraft II, Blizzard Entertainment’s beloved sci-fi RTS, is celebrating 10 years of galactic strategy and incredible comradery in the Koprulu Sector! Starting with an update to the Public Test Realm, fans of the strategy game will have the opportunity to launch into a whole heap of player-requested features (and extras!) to StarCraft II, including Galaxy Map Editor improvements to make campaign maps easier to create; new campaign achievements; and new prestige talents for every co-op commander.

EDITOR IMPROVEMENTS AND NEW FEATURES

  • Players have asked for the editor to be easier to use – and the game’s development team is delivering!

CUSTOM CAMPAIGNS

  • A new Arcade map genre will be added to open up the editor for more stories and creative ideas.
  • Creating custom campaigns will be a much smoother experience and will now support map-to-map loading
  • Many previously offline-only campaigns will now be accessible through the StarCraft II Arcade
  • Players will also be able to introduce co-op custom campaigns in addition to their single-player experiences

NEW CAMPAIGN ACHIEVEMENTS

  • The 10th-anniversary update will add brand new achievements for every mission in the StarCraft II campaigns, including the Nova Covert Ops mission pack.
  • Earn the Stone Announcer for completing every new achievement.

PRESTIGE TALENTS FOR CO-OP COMMANDERS

  • Players can now replay the level 1-15 progression for each maxed-out commander, up to three times, and earn a new Prestige Talent each time it’s completed – opening multiple new gameplay options and strategic decisions.
