Starcraft 2 news » Celebrating StarCraft II’s 6th Anniversary

StarCraft II is turning six years old this month! And what better way to celebrate than to give gifts to the community that has supported us throughout the years.

Here are all of the goodies you can expect during the next week.

Starting today, we’re offering a 25% increase in experience for race levels and Co-op Commander levels. Now is a great time to level up Karax, Abathur, and all of the other commanders available. You can also take advantage and level-up your off races for those sweet dance animations.

We’re also giving away a new portrait to commemorate this event. If you play one game from any mode in StarCraft II, you’ll score yourself a sweet new portrait. We will definitely not be asserting that the existence of this sweet layered confection is simply a farce.

And finally, we’ve added some in-game flavor to celebrate StarCraft II’s anniversary. New advances in Zerg, Terran, and Protoss technology have allowed each race to craft the most powerful and destructive units out of sugar and flour. No longer will your workers have to handle dangerously sharp crystals fund your army.

All of these goodies will be available from Friday, July 22 till 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, July 28.

StarCraft II has grown immensely over the last 6 years and we can’t thank the community enough for everything they’ve contributed. We’ll see you online and we look forward to celebrating many more years of StarCraft II.
