For a full list of changes check ou the official blog. No word on a release date yet for Starcraft II: Legacy Of The Void, but that should come as no surprise since fans don’t even have a release for the free three-mission prequel content dubbed, Whispers Of Oblivion which is set to bridge the story between Heart Of The Swarm and Legacy Of The Void.
