The latest addition to the StarCraft series, StarCraft 2: Legacy of the Void, has been updated with plenty of new features and tweaks that should keep players busy for days, or at least more comfortable while gaming. 

Update 3.1.0 brought commander Karax to co-op missions, Karax has his own unique set of robotic units as well as powerful abilities and passive benefits. Karax will be available for free to anyone that owns Legacy of the Void, but following commanders will be offered to for purchase.

On top of Karax, Blizzard brought the 'Lock & Load' mission map to the game. It's basically a co-op version of the Temple of Unification mission, with the first mission requiring cooperation between players in order to complete the objective of capturing points. The update has also polished existing co-op mission maps in hopes of making them more immersive.

In addition to the new features, the game's Chat has been improved and modified with various tweaks, Archon vs. AI has been added as a matchmaking option, and general bugs have been fixed.

With the update released, the Nova: Covert Ops is now available for pre-purchase. Anyone that pre-purchases the mission bundle will get a Nova portrait as well a Ghost unit skin as a bonus when the mission pack releases.
