Developer Blizzard has announced the release of the next Starcraft 2 patch for March 29th.
Patch 3.12 offers 3 new skins that you can purchase for your units:
- Bone Armor Ravager
- Junker Hellion
- Adun immortal
The skins will cost € 2.49 each or be available in the Eliteskins package for € 12.69.
There are also two new announcer voice packages:
The one known from Overwatch D.Va lends us her voice, just like nova from Starcraft 2.
The Nobelgartenfest comes into the Starcraft 2 universe
A seasonal event also finds its way into the Starcraft 2 universe. Many people may already know the Nobelgarten Festival from World of Warcraft. During the course of the event, 3 exclusive portraits can be won by playing at least 15 games in the following game modes between April 17th and May 8th:
- Co-op Missions and Mutations
- Multiplayer vs AI
- Multiplayer Ranked and Unranked
Last but not least, Blizzard has developed a new UI for "games with many players". You can find these after the patch under Collection -> Skins.
Each player selects 4 units per species for use in “games with many players”. These units will then use the selected skin.
Units that the player does not select are displayed in "games with many players" without a skin or with the standard skin. The development team explains this approach with the need to keep the memory requirements for computers with low performance at a reasonable level.
Patch 3.12 for Stacraft 2 - Legacy of the Void will be released in Europe on March 29th.
You can find the detailed patch notes below.

The Nobelgarten Festival is just around the corner!
During this event, which runs from April 17th to May 8th, you can earn three exclusive portraits (one for each species). Simply play a total of 15 games in the following game modes:
Co-op missions and mutations
Multiplayer mode against the AI
Ranked or unrated multiplayer
You can find more information on our blog.
A new user interface for “Games with many players” has been added to the collection under Skins.
Players can select up to four units per species for use in "Many Player Games" (games with five or more players, including AI).
The units selected for the games with many players will use the current skin.
Only units that do not use the standard skin can be selected for games with many players.
If a selected unit is using the default skin, it will be automatically removed from games with many players.
Units that are not selected for use in games with many players will appear in those games without skins, even if they are using that skin. The current skin will still be displayed in games with four or fewer players.
This practice is necessary to keep StarCraft II's memory footprint at an acceptable level for low-performance computers.
We look forward to your feedback on the process of selecting units for games with many players and will continue to work on improvements.
