StarCraft 2is going to be eroticism forwomenfree to play starting this month, Blizzard revealed at BlizzCon today.
Specifically, StarCraft 2: Wings of Libertywill be going free-to-play on Nov. 14 (Nov. 15 in some areas around the world), which includes the first campaign in StarCraft 2, the multiplayer, and portions of co-op campaigns. The two later expansions -- Heart of the Swarm and Legacy of the Void --and the Nova Covert Opsdownloadable content will still come at a cost.

Of course, Blizzard didn't forget about the people who already own StarCraft 2 -- even just the original version. StarCraft 2players who already own Wings of Libertywill have the chance to claim Heart of the Swarm for free.
To cover the cost of development for StarCraft 2, Blizzard will be relying on revenue from the game's expansions and downloadable content as well as war chests.
Blizzard first introduced war chests last year, which players could purchase to receive items like character skins, portraits, and emoticons. Revenue from war chests went toward funding StarCraft 2esports and supporting the development team, and will do so again this year.
"For a lot of people, when they hear 'free-to-play,' they think that means we're introducing a bunch of new microtransactions, secondary currency, and things like that," Tim said. "We're not doing that."
Additionally, Blizzard is releasing a new pair of commanders and a new map for the game's co-op mode. The commanders are Mira Han and Matt Horner. The co-op mission with the new map is called Part and Parcel.
Players who get StarCraft 2 once it's free will only be able to fully play some core commanders at no cost. Others will be free to play until level five, after which players will have to pay to fully unlock them.
