To commemorate the game&rsquo;s tenth anniversary, Blizzard is&nbsp;publicly testing an anniversary update, introducing new campaign achievements for every mission in&nbsp;<em>StarCraft II&rsquo;s<\/em>&nbsp;base game and its three expansions, in addition to changes that empower players to create their own custom campaigns.<\/p>\n<p>One reason&nbsp;<em>StarCraft II<\/em>&nbsp;has stuck around so long is that fans have kept it alive by&nbsp;creating custom campaigns&nbsp;in the game. Blizzard has now absorbed several elements from&nbsp;<em>Warcraft III&rsquo;s&nbsp;<\/em>game editor<em>,&nbsp;<\/em>making the interface in&nbsp;<em>StarCraft II&nbsp;<\/em>easier to use &mdash; there&rsquo;s&nbsp;an entire gigantic blog post&nbsp;from the company detailing everything that&rsquo;s new for the game&rsquo;s map editor. The&nbsp;anniversary patch&nbsp;also introduced a new transitioning lobby, making it easier to move between two maps in multiplayer, in addition to a new &ldquo;Campaign&rdquo; subsection in the game&rsquo;s variants menu.<\/p>\n<p>Technically, Blizzard released many of these changes with&nbsp;update 4.13&rsquo;s public testing round last Tuesday. It&rsquo;s not clear which features in the anniversary update are brand-new and which are tweaks to features released in the previous patch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fx pdfLinkHolder decoration-holder\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div class=\"tagsHolder decoration-holder\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div id=\"PSNTZO8gXFUe+cpCZyApw0vEKWPT4b14D6teBEocIAE=_1737e4f4db0:1bce066:93f18139_wallHolder\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<p class=\"tags\">\n<div><strong>See Campaign: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2020\/7\/23\/21336156\/starcraft-2-ten-year-anniversary-update-blizzard\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2020\/7\/23\/21336156\/starcraft-2-ten-year-anniversary-update-blizzard<\/a><br \/><b>Contact Information:<\/b><br \/>Taylor Lyles<\/p>\n<p><b>Tags:<\/b><br \/><a href=\"\"><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/news-category\/artificial-intelligence-newswire\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Artificial Intelligence Newswire<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/news-category\/wire\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Wire<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/global-regions\/united-states\/\" rel=\"category tag\">United States<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/language\/english\/\" rel=\"category tag\">English<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" alt=\"image\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"cwdfimg\" \/><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Contact Information:<\/h3>\n<p>Taylor Lyles<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"119\" height=\"40\" src=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/4000-logo.jpg\" alt=\"\">Image: Blizzard StarCraft II&nbsp;has been out for almost a decade now.
