Blizzard has revealed StarCraft 2: Nova Covert Ops , a story expansion pack whose first three missions kick off on or before June 19, 2016. At BlizzCon 2015, Blizzard's Mike Morhaime explained StarCraft 2 will see additional mission packs following the launch of StarCraft 2: Legacy of the Void.

In an interview with Polygon , story director James Waugh said, "This game is really about choice, which really speaks to the theme of who Nova is, and I think by the time we get through this game, we’re going to put Nova in a more empowered position than where we’ve seen her in the past."Nova is the Terran Ghost who would have starred in the canceled shooter StarCraft: Ghost. Nova Covert Ops does not incorporate elements from Ghost, however.Blizzard's Chris Sigaty said this will be "focusing on a story that’s a little more intimate, a little darker in tone. We’ve been so focused on the galactic conflict [in StarCraft] and the galactic story. We’d like to explore something a little bit closer to home."
