You can now grab Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty for free

Starting today, players can pick up the award-winning Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty for the low, low price of free.
Players will get access to the first campaign, the ranked ladder and the highly popular co-op mode. All of the balance updates and co-op commanders from the latest release, Legacy of the Void, will also carry over.
“StarCraft II is one of the highest-rated PC games of all time, and we’re excited to give even more people around the world a chance to find out why it has inspired such a passionate global community,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. “With the massive Wings of Liberty single-player campaign, endlessly replayable co-op mode, prestigious ranked ladder, comprehensive map-making tools, and more, StarCraft II now delivers the ultimate real-time strategy experience completely free.”
If you’re looking to experience the more recent story chapters included in the expansions Heart of the Swarm and Legacy of the Void, you’ll need to buy these seperately. If you already own Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty (the base game) but haven’t bought Heart of the Swarm, you’ll be able to claim this for free by logging into Battle.net between now and December 8.
As an extra thank you to current Starcraft II players, you’ll recieve a unique Eidolon Ghost skin and three portraits commemorating founder status in the game.
Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty turned seven years old this year and apparently, a F2P model has been in the works for a while. It’s always been a popular esports title and Blizzard are hoping expanding the playerbase will help bring in some fresh blood.
Blizzard also described how they have a ‘catalog of content for people … if they came in from free-to-play’. According to the production director Tim Morten, Blizzard want to ‘stay away from secondary currencies, griding and other annoying monetization methods’. So yep, despite going free-to-play, Starcraft II won’t feature any extra currencies or microtransactions.
A new onboarding experience will also help new players find the game modes that make the most sense for them, whether you’re looking for a co-op experience or want to jump straight into the PVP ranked ladder.
Access to the ranked ladder will become available after earning 10 ‘first wins of the day’ in Unranked or after any purchase of expansion content. Co-op commanders also have a max level of 5 in the F2P model, with the exception of Raynor, Kerrigan and Artanis.
Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty is available today for Windows and Mac, fully localised in a range of languages. You can read our full Legacy of the Void review here.

Post-apocalyptic Aussie CRPG Broken Roads Gets Gameplay Overview

We’ve been eyeing Broken Roads, an isometric CRPG set in post-apocalyptic Australia, and a developer-led gameplay overview gave us our best look yet.
With a moral compass for existential musings, Disco Elysium fans will love this. On a good day, outback Western Australia looks post-apocalyptic.
Since we last played, combat has changed. Free-form movement replaces grid-based combat maps. Four playable origin stories will keep players busy for 25 hours in the full release.
Broken Roads debuts on PS5 and PS4 in 2023. Is this oatmeal tempting?

Sonic Frontiers Gets Its First Free DLC Expansion This Week

Sonic Frontiers’ first DLC arrives this week, delighting fans.
SEGA announced a lot of extra content for the open-zone platformer in 2023 late last year. Owners can simply enjoy the game’s gradual expansion since it’s free.
First, the sights, sounds, and speed update SEGA informs game owners that the content update will arrive on March 23. The content roadmap suggests a jukebox, photo mode, and new challenges, but the email doesn’t elaborate.
Sonic Frontiers’ first DLC—excited?

2K’s PS5 and PS4 LEGO Racing Game Looks Like a Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed Successor

We don’t have Mario Kart on PlayStation, but Sumo Digital’s Sonic & All-Star Racing Transformed is the closest rival to Nintendo’s classic series. LEGO 2K Drive, a weekend leak, appears to have the same energy.
Despite being an open world, screenshots show multifaceted races in LEGO cars, boats, and planes. Images show swamps, freeways, and haunted houses. It looks nice, actually.
2K Sports is developing several LEGO-themed sports games, including a soccer game. The Danish brick manufacturer is revamping its portfolio to include more than just licensed products like LEGO Star Wars and LEGO Harry Potter. (Another of the latter is reportedly coming.)
We’re open to this LEGO-inspired racer because PS5 and PS4 arcade racers are scarce. With Disney Speedstorm and another ModNation racer from Sony, the future may be brighter.
