Zerg and Protoss fans weren’t happy to find out that StarCraft II was going to be released as a trilogy of games, first part of the trilogy being Wings of Liberty that only has the Terran campaign playable.
But Protoss fans do have something to look forward to because StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty also contains a Protoss mini-campaign! Xordiah from Blizzard’s RTS Community Team confirmed this on the Battle.Net forums
I won’t go into details, since we don’t give out information on the campaign of StarCraft 2, but I can confirm that there will be a Protoss mini-campaign that lets you control Protoss units. This part of the campaign mode is of course way shorter than the Terran part, but it is very fun to have a very different playstyle to add even more variety to the game. I am sure every Protoss fan will love this part of the Campaign!
That being said, the Protoss mini-campaign will not prepare you for the multiplayer as Protoss, you won’t be using all units or getting to know buildings and upgrades.
Protoss is my favorite race in StarCraft so I am happy to hear that there is going to be a short mini-campaign for Protoss in SC2: WoL, even though it might be just 2-4 missions. Thankfully both Protoss and the Zerg will be playable in the multiplayer of WoL.
StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty is rumored to be released this year.
