StarCraft II: Nova Covert Ops available for pre-purchase

You can now pre-order Nova Covert Ops, a 3-episode mission bundle for StarCraft II. The expansion, whose first part is going to arrive in January 2016, will not require the base game to play.

Pre-orders for the DLC pack to Blizzard Entertainment’s RTS StarCraft II are now live. You can buy Nova Covert Ops: Mission Bundle for $14.99 on Battle.net. This grants access to 3 episodes composed of 3 missions each, the first one expected to release no later than on June 19, 2016. Interestingly, the expansions do not require having StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty nor any of the two other installments, only the free StarCraft II Starter Edition. By the way, the first two StarCraft II games: Wings of Liberty and Heart of the Swarm, are currently on sale for $9.99.

All three episodes of Nova Covert Ops should be released before December 2016.

Nova Covert Ops will feature 9 single player missions in total. They will be focused around Nova Terra, a female terran ghost, who will fight the Defenders of Men and help Emperor Mengsk restore peace to the Dominion, as we read in the official description. Those who pre-purchase the bundle will receive an exclusive in-game portrait as well as a ghost unit skin.
