The story of StarCraft II continues on the story of the original StarCraft releases, dealing with the races of StarCraft and characters of StarCraft. Since 2017, StarCraft II multi-player mode, co-op mode and the first single-player campaign have been Free-to-play. StarCraft II multi-player gameplay spawned a separate e-sports competition that later drew interest from companies other than Blizzard, and attracted attention in South Korea and elsewhere, similar to the original StarCraft e-sports. A final campaign pack called StarCraft II: Nova Covert Ops was released in 2016. StarCraft II single-player campaign is split into three installments, each of which focuses on one of the three races: StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty (released 2010), Heart of the Swarm (2013) and Legacy of the Void (2015). Set in a fictional future, the game centers on a galactic struggle for dominance among the various fictional races of StarCraft.
StarCraft II is a military science fiction video game created by Blizzard Entertainment as a sequel to the successful StarCraft video game released in 1998.
