The Story So Far... Part 2: The Brood War
The storyline of StarCraft II takes place four years after the events of StarCraft: Brood War. We have prepared a two-part overview called The Story So Far, an opportunity for you to get up to speed with the characters, settings, and developments that lead up to StarCraft II. Read about Kerrigan's treachery as the Queen of Blades, Samir Duran's hybrid experiments, and the final events leading up to StarCraft II.
Tassadar's brave sacrifice had destroyed the Overmind, but countless rampaging zerg remained on Aiur and would surely overrun the surviving protoss. Zeratul offered sanctuary on Shakuras, the adopted home of the dark templar. Although the decision was difficult, Executor Artanis and the surviving members of the shattered Conclave agreed that their first duty was to save as many lives as possible.
Jim Raynor's forces and the protoss cut a path through the zerg to reach an ancient xel'naga warp gate, the relic of an earlier age. Using the gate, Zeratul opened a connection to a second gate on Shakuras. During the battle, Raynor and some of the protoss were cut off, but Artanis and Zeratul led many other protoss through the gate to safety on Shakuras.

No Holds Barred: Bard Hero Class Announced!
The deeds of every great hero inspire countless songs of triumph, virtue, and epic adventure. But although a hero's glory endures in song, the creators of those songs are seldom remembered. After ages spent singing of the heroic exploits of others, the bards of Azeroth are finally stepping into the spotlight on their own terms, proving once and for all that while just about anyone can pick up a sword or cast a spell, only a true hero can vanquish evil with the power of ROCK! Check out this new class here!
World of Warcraft Coming To Consoles With Molten Core: Unleashed!

Announcing the Diablo Loot Piñata!
Arising from the ancient, unspoken rituals of the Aztecs, the piñata is far more than meets the eye. Just as this popular party accessory holds at its core a delicious payload of candy, so too does its history hide a fascinating tale of war, destruction, faith, rebirth, and the ultimate triumph of good over evil. The new Diablo Loot Piñata is a celebration of all these oft-overlooked aspects of the piñata, and offers a new take on the timeless ritual in true Diablo fashion. No party will be complete without one! Read more about this at our Diablo Loot Piñata page!
Tauren Marine Announced!
In the old Confederacy, terran marines were mostly criminals or rebels who had undergone mandatory neural resocialization. Freed from any previous allegiances or ideologies, these fearless soldiers stood ready to defend Confederate interests with their lives but exhibited an annoying tendency toward petty larceny, vandalism, and occasional cannibalism. Confederate authorities were unable to requisition enough reliable troopers in this way, and eventually recruiters turned to a new source of fresh meat for the grinder. Learn more about the Tauren Marine here!
