New Commanders for Upcoming Co-op Missions
by JR Cook - 9 years ago show comments
The Allied Commanders is a new co-op mode coming to Legacy of the Void. It was initially announced with 3 allied commanders, and now we have 3 more revealed. 4 of the 6 commanders are in Heroes of the Storm – I wonder if we’ll be seeing Swann and Voruzan coming to that game as well soon?
Probably the most exciting part of this announcement is Voruzan, the Dark Archons are back. It would be pretty awesome if Blizzard eventually added them back into the core gameplay.
Legacy of the Void is releasing on November 10, 2015 – right after BlizzCon. You can preorder your copy here.
You can read about each of the new commanders below.
Co-op Missions is an exciting new play mode coming to StarCraft II as part of Legacy of the Void. Last month, weoutlined three of the commanders available in the new cooperative campaign-style game mode. Now, we’d like to introduce three new commanders and give you the scoop on what’s to come!
Three New Commanders
In Co-op Missions, you’ll be able to assume the role of various commanders from the StarCraft II universe. We’ve already announced that Raynor, Kerrigan, and Artanis will be available—now we’re here to announce three more!
Swann is a mechanical master of all things Terran. With Swann, you’ll have access to unique and advanced weaponry, which you can use to wreak unspeakable mayhem across the battlefield. Beginning each game with a massive laser drill, Swann will be unable to construct a Barracks. Instead, Swann relies entirely upon his mechanical prowess, and once he’s constructed his army there is little that can stop him.
As Zagara, you’ll experience with profound clarity why the Zerg are referred to as the Swarm. You’ll multiply your economy at breakneck speeds, and spawn units in relentless waves to assault your opponents. Zagara herself will be present on the battlefield, hosting a repertoire of abilities to lend aid to your efforts. Zagara can call down sacs that rain damage and more Zerg creatures, or spawn potent Hunter Killers to take down priority targets. Zagara can even increase the combat prowess of all friendly units by sending them into a frenzy.
Vorazun leverages the advanced technology of the Protoss with the cunning and adaptable aspects of the Dark Templar to devastating effect. Gain access to some of the most mysterious powers of the Protoss, such as Dark Archons, and use ancient technologies to perform powerful feats—like stopping time itself. With Vorazun, you’ll have some of the most versatile tools in the StarCraft universe available to you . . . the question is, will you be crafty enough to claim victory?
Co-op Missions will present a host of campaign-style missions that will challenge you and your ally. These challenges can be approached in many different ways, and a wealth of different commanders will be available to tackle them. We’re looking forward to hearing your thoughts on these new Co-op Mission participants. Leave your comments below, and stay tuned for more updates on this exciting new cooperative game mode!
