After nearly a decade of waiting, StarCraft is finally making a return! But instead of launching on PC, it’s deploying straight to your dining room table.

Blizzard Entertainment and Archon Studio have announced the StarCraft Tabletop Miniatures Game, set to release in 2026. Players will command Terran, Zerg, or Protoss forces in tactical, fast-paced battles designed to capture the spirit of the classic RTS. And if that’s not enough, StarCraft board games will follow in 2027, expanding the universe even further.

This isn’t StarCraft 3, but it’s still exciting, especially since Blizzard hasn’t given us much StarCraft content in years. The game will feature high-quality miniatures, deep faction mechanics, and plenty of strategic depth, ensuring it appeals to both tabletop wargamers and longtime fans of the franchise. Plus, let’s be honest—there’s something fun about physically moving tiny Zerglings across a battlefield instead of just watching them swarm on a screen.

For those worried this is just another sci-fi miniatures game, Archon insists they’re staying true to the fast, tactical nature of the RTS. If they pull that off, we could be looking at a game that actually feels like StarCraft—even if you have to roll dice instead of spam hotkeys.

So, what do you think? Are you ready to reclaim the Koprulu Sector in a whole new way, or are you still holding out hope for StarCraft 3? Either way, you might want to start clearing some space on your game shelf—because this battle is heading straight for your tabletop.
