StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty

Released2010
StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty is a science fiction real-time strategy game and the sequel to the original StarCraft. Set four years after the events of Brood War, the game revolves around three species: the Terrans, the Zerg, and the Protoss. The single-player campaign focuses on the Terrans, following Jim Raynor as he leads an insurgent group against the autocratic Terran Dominion. The campaign is non-linear, with players taking missions for money and using those funds to buy additional units and upgrades between missions aboard the battlecruiser Hyperion. The game features competitive multiplayer with a matchmaking ladder system, a map editor for user-created content, and support for three playable races with distinct units and abilities. Wings of Liberty has been free-to-play since November 2017 and was followed by two expansion packs: Heart of the Swarm, focusing on the Zerg, and Legacy of the Void, focusing on the Protoss.

About This Game

A hardened ex-marshal commands an outlaw fleet from the margins of known space, determined to dismantle the tyrannical Dominion and overthrow its iron-fisted leader. Driven by guilt over fallen comrades and a thirst for vengeance against those who betrayed him, Jim Raynor recruits and trains an army of misfits while plotting to topple the regime from within. When unresolved debts from his past resurface alongside mounting cosmic threats, Raynor discovers that his personal vendetta is merely a prelude to a far larger struggle—one that will pit him against both human adversaries and otherworldly forces whose rise could reshape the entire sector's future.
