StarCraft II free-to-play model kicks off later this month

StarCraft II free-to-play action will kick off later this month, Blizzard recently detailed.

Starting 15 November, players will gain free access to the Wings of Liberty campaign alongside multiplayer modes (balanced by the Legacy of the Void release). Also included in the free-to-play model is the game’s Co-op Commanders co-op mode.

StarCraft II is one of the highest-rated PC games of all time, and we’re excited to give even more people around the world a chance to find out why it has inspired such a passionate global community,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO of Blizzard Entertainment.

“With the massive Wings of Liberty single-player campaign, endlessly replayable co-op mode, prestigious ranked ladder, comprehensive map-making tools, and more, StarCraft II now delivers the ultimate real-time strategy experience completely free.”

Additional single-player campaigns, Heart of the Swarm, Legacy of the Void and Nova Covert Ops can be purchased individually for $21.95 AUD or in a bundle for $59.95 AUD.

StarCraft II is available now on Windows PC and Mac.
