You buy a seasonal War Chest and move your way up the levels, by playing the game, to earn cosmetic loot, with a different War Chest for each race. War Chests are basically StarCraft’s answer to the Battle Pass mechanic used by a lot of games these days.
What this means is that we’re not going to be producing additional for-purchase content, such as Commanders and War Chests, but we will continue doing season rolls and necessary balance fixes moving forward.
Before you hyperventilate, the competitive esports contingent will continue as normal and the game isn’t dead.īlizzard Entertainment recently announced that they will be ending new content development for StarCraft II so that they can focus on what’s next for the StarCraft franchise as a whole. It’s been 10 years since StarCraft II was released and now the development team is moving on to the future of the franchise.
