[dropcap size=small]W[/dropcap]hile Star Craft II: Legacy of the Void isn’t expected to be available until some time during the holiday season of this year, the final installment in the Star Craft II trilogy is now available for pre-order! If you pre-order the game, you get immediate access to the closed beta for the three-part prequel missions titled Whispers of Oblivion. Depending on which of the three versions you purchase, you can get some pretty cool bonus material as well.
As mentioned before, Whispers of Oblivion is a prequel to the events that will take place in Legacy of the Void. The prequel will feature the famous hero, the Dark Templar Zeratul and it will tie in the previous events from past expansions for Star Craft II’s final and epic conclusion. There is no current release date for Whispers of Oblivion, but the prequel will be released for everyone to play, including those who did not pre-order Legacy of the Void.
