At the Blizzcon 2014, lead designer Dustin Browder revealed a first trailer and look at StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void. Being released as a stand-alone game, Legacy of the Void concludes the StarCraft II trilogy in a big way. The Protoss have amassed their forces and are ready to retake their homeworld. At the same time, all three races (Protoss, Humans, and Zerg) must band together to defeat the Xel'naga, an ancient race that's rising back power. 

While using Protoss forces, players will be able call down fire from The Spear of Adun, a massive battle cruiser that's always in orbit. It has the power to wipe out entire armies at the touch of a button. In other exciting news, the Lurker will be making a comeback. New gameplay includes Archon modes, where two players work cooperatively using the same base and armies, so players can have a truer sense of having eyes everywhere all the time to react to threats and exploit opportunities.

Another new mode includes Allied Commanders, which is an objective based co-op experience. Players team together and assume the roles of powerful commanders from the StarCraft saga. Each commander has different abilities and upgrades, which benefits their armies in unique way. Player work together to fight their way through different scenarios and level up their commanders while doing so. 

In competitve multiplayer, the Protoss will be outfitted with a new weapon called the Disruptor, which uses enemy spikes to tear apart ground forces. Terrans will have new abilities like Tactical Jump, which allows Battlecrusiers to teleport to anywhere on the battlefield. 

The official release window was announced, but we're hoping that Blizzard is aiming for the early half of 2015.
