During BlizzCon 2014, Blizzard unveiled the third part in their StarCraft 2 trilogy, Legacy of the Void. However unlike the previous two games, Blizzard announced that Legacy of the Void would be a standalone game, as opposed to being an expansion which we’re sure many had originally thought it would be.
As expected of Blizzard, the developer did not mention when the game would be released, but gamers were welcome to sign up for the beta if they were interested. That being said for those who are curious about the game’s progress, Blizzard has since posted an update on their Battle.net blog detailing some of the changes that they would be making to the multiplayer aspect of the game.
Most of the changes/updates Blizzard is making is to help balance out the game, but what’s more interesting is the fact that Blizzard has suggested that there is a possibility that they could be adding more Protoss units to the game. The new units are expected to be early game harassment types which could be welcome by Protoss players, especially given that Protoss units tend to be slower to build and more expensive compared to other races.
Blizzard has also announced that they will be maintaining the resource cap at about 70% compared to Heart of the Swarm, which means that they are encouraging gamers to expand faster and more aggressively, as opposed to passively collecting resources from your single base. The detailed list of changes can be found on Blizzard’s website so if you’re curious, head on over for the details.
