Starcraft miniatures game lets you play as Terran, Zerg, or Protoss

StarCraft, the classic real-time strategy game created by Blizzard Entertainment, is being turned into a miniatures game. Polish game publisher and plastics manufacturer Archon Studio made the announcement early Wednesday morning in a blog post, pegging the initial release for 2026. A series of board games set in the same universe is said to follow in 2027. More information is expected in a livestream presentation on April 3.

Originally released in 1998, StarCraft tells the story of the unending battle between the gritty Terran military, the high-tech Protoss, and the unrelenting hordes of the Zerg. Its outsized success cast the die for a generation of real-time strategy hits, and even helped to popularize the concept of esports. The game lives on, including on Xbox Game Pass which includes access to both StarCraft: Remastered and StarCraft 2 Campaign Collection.

Archon Studio burst onto the tabletop scene in 2019 with a successful campaign for hard-plastic terrain for dungeon crawling, tabletop role-play, and other applications. Called Dungeons & Lasers, the campaign raised the flag for what was at the time Europe’s only high-level competitor to Games Workshop, the tabletop juggernaut based in the United Kingdom. The studio has gone on to forge partnerships across the video game industry, producing successful campaigns for games like Wolfenstein: The Board Game and Master of Orion: Ad Astra. It’s also turning heads with its remarkable pre-painted plastic products called Prismacast, bits of plastic kit delivered on the sprue that look unlike anything we’ve seen on the market so far.

Nothing was revealed about the nature or the scale of the game itself. Archon Studio has scheduled a livestream for April 3 where more information will be provided.
