During the StarCraft World Championship Series the release date for the game’s latest expansion finally was announced and is set to come out on November 10th for PC and Mac. StarCraft 2: Legacy of the Void is the final expansion for StarCraft 2 in which players take control of the Protoss army bent on reclaiming their home world of Aiur from both the Zerg and an “unknown evil.” The second expansion is now available for digital pre purchase on Blizzard’s online gaming client–Battle.net. Following the footsteps of the first expansion, Heart of the Swarm, several different editions of the game will be available for purchase both digitally and physically.
