It looks like this era of the war between the Terrans, Zerg and Protoss is coming to an end. Blizzard has announced on October 15, 2020 that support for StarCraft II will be ceasing – at least when it comes to new content. The news comes after the popular real-time strategy game celebrated it’s 10th anniversary earlier this year.
“What this means is that we’re not going to be producing additional for-purchase content, such as Commanders and War Chests, but we will continue doing season rolls and necessary balance fixes moving forward.” said by executive producer Rob Bridenbecker. Also the Blizzard Entertainment is looking forward to what is next for “the StarCraft universe as a whole”.
StarCraft II players need not fret as the game will remain playable. Blizzard will also be supporting the game when it comes to patches and technical support. Of course, being Blizzard, we definitely know the adventures of Kerrigan and Raynor are possibly coming back soon with another installment of StarCraft.
This change comes at the same time with Blizzard is working on Diablo 4 and Overwatch 2, neither of which have release dates or even release windows. The staff is said to be giving lot of attention and aiming for a better work conditions.
StarCraft II is a science fiction real-time strategy video game developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment. It was released worldwide in July 2010 for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X. Blizzard has since made the first campaign of the game free-to-play, with Commander packs added regularly until now.
