So far one of the few pieces of information about the game is that its single player campaign will be focused on the Protoss, one of the three main factions in the Starcraft storyline, in contrast to Wings of Liberty, which featured the Terrans and Heart of the Swarm, set to focus on the Zerg. It also will take place directly after Heart of the Swarm. Dark templar Zeratul will presumably be the most important character in this expansion.
