Blizzard's three-mission "prologue" leads up to StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void
Anxiously awaiting the arrival of the new StarCraft II installment, Legacy of the Void? Blizzard may have something new to keep you busy until then, in the form of a “Prologue.” Called Whispers of Oblivion, the Prologue will consist of three missions that will bridge together the story of Heart of the Swarm and Legacy of the Void.
According to Blizzard, StarCraft II players will join the Dark Temple mystic called Zeratul, an alliance that hasn’t been seen since the release of the first installment, Wings of Liberty. The final piece of the Xel’naga prophecy will be uncovered thanks to this new cooperation between the two parties, Blizzard said.
“We will be making Whispers of Oblivion available to all players before the game’s release, but prior to that, we will be providing early access to the Prologue missions with pre-purchase of the game,” Blizzard revealed.
For now, that’s it for details. The company concluded this tidbit of StarCraft II news by stating that more details will arrive in July 2015. There’s no indication that this little “Prologue” will be free despite the “available to all players” comment, but it’s quite possible Blizzard could reel in new players by offering this standalone Prologue for free.
Meanwhile, Blizzard is currently banging out Legacy of the Void for an undisclosed release date. On Wednesday, Blizzard defended its use of beta feedback by stating that yes, the company is indeed making changes to the PC game based on feedback despite rumors stating otherwise.
“Some are concerned that the feedback being provided isn’t being considered or used. This has come as a bit of a surprise to us, as so many changes that we’ve tested and implemented in Legacy of the Void were from player feedback,” Blizzard said.
Some of the feedback-based features added to Legacy of the Void include the existence of the Liberator, chat system improvements and more. The full list of feedback-based changes can be found here.
