These races will fight against each other to kill and survive on the illusory space opera settings of 26th century. Each race is balanced with their set of traits and specific abilities to harm one another. The whole game is divided into three parts, each part allowing the player to command one of the three races. In the first part, the player becomes Confederate Magistrate of Mar Sara which is threatened by both the races - Protoss and Zerg. In the second part of the game, the player takes up the role of commander within the Zerg race. And in the third part the player is a newly appointed officer in the Protoss military. Jim Raynor, an ethical and responsible law enforcement officer from Mar Sera, is an integral part of the game who accompanies the player on most of his missions.

There are two aspects to each race’s ability to fight and build new forces and units – Minerals and Vespene gas. Each unit, apart from structures, also needs minerals to sustain and function normally. The minerals can be obtained by harvesting the mineral from mineral nodes scattered on the battle field. To do the harvesting, a worker will need to be assigned to the task. Vespene gas is needed by players to construct sophisticated units and buildings. The gas can be acquired from a refinery built on top of the geyser by workers who are assigned to extract the gas from it. The supplies need to be regularized throughout the game in order for the player to ensure that his/her respective race is accurately functioning with respect to units and forces.

StarCraft II, which happens four years after the StarCraft: Brood War, is built primarily on the above mentioned factors though improvisation in more ways than one has been incorporated into it. For the initial release - Wings of Liberty, primary focus is on Terran campaign. With respect to changes - the races have been remodeled and redefined to include new traits and capabilities. Also new units have been introduced to make the game play more interesting and challenging. The multi player aspect of StarCraft has undergone a complete overhaul in this release. In addition, a number of new missions might be included in StarCraft 2 to give the players the feel of a fresh game play setting. Creation of custom maps and mods has also been revisited to give the whole idea an air of sophistication as compared to the previous release. To add to these, StarCraft II market place will be selling high-class maps over battle.net for players to purchase and use.

Thus, promising not to disappoint its fans, StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty is all set to release on July 27th 2010.
