The player will level up the Queen of Blades, Kerrigan, throughout the missions. The second release, the Zerg campaign Heart of the Swarm, will have role-playing elements. The Terran campaign, Wings of Liberty, places players in a mercenary-style campaign, as Terran rebel Jim Raynor performs missions for cash. Vice President Rob Pardo stressed that each campaign will function very differently. Although each playthrough will vary, the end result remains consistent, keeping the storyline linear.
In a departure from previous Blizzard games, the campaign is non-linear, with Raynor taking jobs for money and using that money to buy additional units and upgrades. In the Terran campaign, the original StarCraft briefing room is replaced with an interactive version of the battlecruiser Hyperion, with Jim Raynor, now a bitter and hard-drinking mercenary captain, as the central character. StarCraft II features the return of the three species from the original game: Protoss, Terran, and Zerg. The new Terran briefing system allows the player to explore the inside of the battlecruiser Hyperion. In its first month on sale, over three million copies of StarCraft II were sold worldwide. Similar to its predecessor, StarCraft II was praised for its engaging gameplay, as well as its introduction of new features and improved storytelling, while criticism targeted features that existed in the original StarCraft game but were removed in StarCraft II, such as the lack of LAN play and the decision to split up multiplayer regions. The game was met with very positive reviews from critics, receiving an aggregated score of 93% from Metacritic. The game includes both new and returning characters and locations from the original game. The game is set four years after the events of 1998's StarCraft: Brood War, and follows the exploits of Jim Raynor as he leads an insurgent group against the autocratic Terran Dominion. Wings of Liberty focuses on the Terrans, while the expansions Heart of the Swarm and Legacy of the Void will focus on the Zerg and Protoss, respectively.
Set in the 26th century in a distant part of the Milky Way galaxy, the game revolves around three species: the Terrans, human exiles from Earth the Zerg, a super-species of assimilated life forms and the Protoss, a species with vast mental powers. It is split into three installments: the base game with the subtitle Wings of Liberty, and two upcoming expansion packs, Heart of the Swarm and Legacy of the Void. A sequel to the award-winning 1998 video game StarCraft, the game was released worldwide on July 27, 2010. StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty is a military science fiction real-time strategy video game developed and released by Blizzard Entertainment for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X.
