Who has never wanted to hear his marines pop out of the barracks with the voice of Apollo ? And let the one who never dreamed to be alerted of a supply-block by Smix throw a stone at me.
Following the recurrent requests from the community, and seeing the sales potential, Blizzard finally decided to implement voice packs of some of the most famous StarCraft II personalities in Legacy of the Void.
For only $9.99, you'll be able, very soon, to embody the Zerg Swarm, the Terran Dominion or the powerful Protoss armada with the sound of one of the following personnalities :
- Shaun « Apollo » Clark
- Dan « Artosis » Stemkoski
- Sean « Day[9] » Plott
- Paul « ReDeYe » Chaloner
- Geoffrey « iNcontroL » Robinson
- James « Kaelaris » Carrol
- Nathan « Nathanias » Fabrikant
- Kevin « RotterdaM » van der Kooi
- Sue « Smix » Lee
- Nicolas « Tasteless » Plott
- Yoan « ToD » Merlo
- John « TotalBiscuit » Bain
And if the whispering of sweet words from Le ToD wasn't enough, simple actions ingame will also trigger some of the typical and representatives phrases from the casters. Without delivering an exhaustive list, Blizzard was kind enough to share a few :
- Voice of RotterdaM, after a good Blink execution : « Hashtag Rottimicro »
- Voice of Artosis, after the creation of a lone Pylon powering at least two buildings : « That's some sick play by a litteral God »
- Voice of Nathanias, when a Terran widow-mine kills you at least three units in one shot : « Kappa».
Soon enough the concept should be implemented in other languages such as German, Russian, Spanish and ... French ! Indeed, our sources have already confirmed that Stephano, ToD (again), FunKa and Llewellys will be participating.
We don't know yet how the voice packs will be downloadable exactly, whether via Battle.net, directly ingame, or from Blizzard's website, ... but there's little doubt that this initiative will encounter a great success !
