StarCraft Hits the Tabletop! Archon Studio Announces Miniatures & Board Games

Ready to swap your keyboard for a measuring tape? Archon Studio is bringing StarCraft to the world of miniatures gaming! In 2026, the StarCraft Miniatures Game will let players take command of the Terran, Zerg, or Protoss in strategic tabletop battles. And if that’s not enough, a lineup of StarCraft board games will follow in 2027, all thanks to a licensing deal with Blizzard Entertainment.

A Whole New Way to Play StarCraft

Imagine high-quality miniatures, deep strategic gameplay, and the chance to customize your army just like in the video games. Whether you prefer the adaptable Terran, the overwhelming Zerg, or the high-tech Protoss, you’ll get to lead your faction in epic clashes—this time, with dice and miniatures instead of hotkeys and APM.

"StarCraft has always been an inspiration for us," said Michal Pawlaczyk, COO of Archon Studio. "Its deep lore, strategic gameplay, and iconic factions make it perfect for an immersive tabletop experience. We can’t wait to show the community what we’ve been working on."

StarCraft as a Miniatures Game - Will It Work?

RTS games and miniatures don’t always go hand in hand, but if done right, this could be something special. How will Archon capture the essence of StarCraft’s real-time strategy roots in a turn-based format? Will there be a unique approach to unit-building and resource management? These are the big questions, and we can’t wait to find out the answers.

The Sci-Fi Miniatures Scene is Heating Up

If you’re skeptical, just look at the success of other sci-fi tabletop games. Halo: Combat Patrol has built a solid player base, and heavyweights like Warhammer 40K and BattleTech have kept sci-fi wargaming alive for decades. StarCraft has the pedigree to stand alongside them—it just needs the right execution.
