Players will also revisit the original series' worlds, like Char, Mar Sara, and Braxis; as well as new worlds, such as the jungle planet Bel'Shir. It has been confirmed that the Xel'Naga, the ancient space-faring race responsible for creating the Protoss and the Zerg, will play a major role in the story

StarCraft 2 will be a 1 player campaign with a multiplayer with up to 8 players.

The newest feature is Galaxy Editor. Galaxy Editor is StarCraft II's campaign, map and mod editor which is included with all versions of Wings of Liberty.
