Legacy of the Void is the last chapter in the three part series that StarCraft 2 has and it's all about the survival of the Protoss race and how they are able to unite once again to fight a common foe. This is the last piece of the story that has yet to unfold in the StarCraft universe and we are all eagerly waiting to know what's the next thing that's gonna happen.

It's been quite some time since Wings of Liberty and Heart of the Swarm came out that Legacy of the Void looks like a brand new StarCraft game with all its uniqueness and changes. Here is a list of units that are new/changed to Legacy of the Void.

• Disruptor (New) - Ground unit that has the ability to discharges energy dealing massive damage at an AoE.

See how much has changed?! That is a lot to look out for and never forget the excitement that the campaign brings! I'm looking forward to playing Legacy of the Void for myself because I'm just one of those kids that grew up playing Broodwar and later on, StarCraft 2. 

Let's all experience this awesome game and share it to everyone who loves a great real time strategy game, heck let's share it to all kinds of gamers! Let's all have fun because that's what really matters the most!

As what the Protoss says, "My Life For Aiur!"
