Jeu de stratégie en temps réel (STR), StarCraft II prend place dans un univers futuriste, au XXVIe siècle pour être exact, dans lequel s'affrontent Terrans, Zergs et Protoss, trois espèces qui luttent pour des convictions et des objectifs propres. Le jeu est divisé en trois volets qui se suivent chronologiquement mais qui se concentrent à chaque fois sur une race bien précise : Terran puis Zerg et enfin Protoss. Malgré un background extrêmement riche, StarCraft II reste avant tout un jeu multijoueur qui connaît une scène eSport très active.
