StarCraft's 20th Birthday Adds Kerrigan Widowmaker Skin To Overwatch, Other Blizzard Goodies
The original StarCraft turns 20 this month, and Blizzard is celebrating with a variety of bonuses across all of its games and more throughout the month.
Most notably, Overwatch players will be happy to know Widowmaker is getting a Kerrigan skin (not to be confused for the currently available Nova skin, based on StarCraft's other infamous sniper). Other bonuses in Blizzard's games include:
- Diablo III: A Battelcruiser pet.
- Hearthstone: A StarCraft-themed Tavern Brawl sometime during the month.
- Heroes of the Storm: StarCraft-themed Portraits and Brawls.
- StarCraft Remastered: A new console skin and a sale from March 6-20.
- StarCraft II: Console skins, portraits, an achievement and decals.
Blizzard also teased another StarCraft-themed hero will be joining Heroes of the Storm soon, though they did not announce who.
Additionally, fans can catch documentary-style feature called StarCraft is Life: A 20th Anniversary Celebration, as well as a commemorative livestream on March 31.

Our Take
Arcturus Mengsk in HotS, Blizzard. I'm not asking you to like it. I'm asking you to do it.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
