"Starting with today’s PTR update through the forthcoming release of Patch 5.0, you’ll be able to get your hands on a ton of player-requested features (along with a few extras) to StarCraft II, including Galaxy Map Editor improvements to make campaign maps easier to create, new campaign achievements, and new prestige talents for every co-op commander", Blizzard wrote.
Starcraft 2's editor update is the biggest editor update yet, and it's meant to make it much easier to use. It includes Map to Map Loading, a slew of data collection tweaks and even an Easy Mode data editor, which streamlines data collections, and more, all of which you can read about in detail over here.
Starcraft 2 is getting custom campaigns, i.e. a new Arcade map genre that will let players get even more creative with their homemade campaigns. Thanks to the aforementioned map-to-map loading, creating campaigns will be much smoother.
Moreover, many campaigns that were offline only will be accessible through Starcraft 2 Arcade and previously single-player only experiences will now be joined by custom co-op campaigns.
As part of the anniversary update, every mission in Starcraft 2 campaigns comes with brand new achievements, and this includes the Nova Covert Ops mission pack. Completing all the new achievements earns you the Stone Announcer.
Co-op commanders are getting prestige talents as well, as Blizzard wrote, "Players can now replay the level 1-15 progression for each maxed-out commander up to three times, and earn a new Prestige Talent each time it’s completed – opening tons of new gameplay options and strategic decisions."
