Free Overwatch Skin For Kerrigan Still Available For StarCraft's Anniversary

Remember Kerrigan before she got all gross and evil?

16 Comments

Overwatch's tribute to StarCraft is now available. A free Kerrigan skin for Widowmaker can be yours by simply logging into the game anytime between now and April 3. The skin gives Widowmaker a Terran makeover, outfitting her with the look of StarCraft's most famous Ghost–at least, before she became the Queen of Blades.

This is one of several cross-promotional goodies Blizzard has planned to celebrate StarCraft's 20th anniversary on March 31. Starting today you can also get portraits and decals by logging into StarCraft: Remastered and StarCraft 2, and a Battlecruiser pet in Diablo 3. Hearthstone got a StarCraft-themed Tavern Brawl on March 21, while Heroes of the Storm will sport anniversary portraits starting on March 27, and World of Warcraft will get its own StarCraft pets.

Now Playing: First Look at Brigitte The New Overwatch Support Hero On PTR

No Caption Provided

Blizzard started laying some groundwork for an anniversary celebration last year, with the announcement that the original would become free, accompanied by a relatively cheap 4K remastered version. StarCraft helped build the studio into the name it is today, so it only makes sense to roll out the red carpet when a big birthday comes around.

This comes hot on the heels of Overwatch's latest new character announcement: Brigette, a support-class and daughter of fellow support Torbjorn. She naturally came along with her own set of set of skins to customize as you like. She's currently only on the public test realm, but she'll be coming to PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on March 20.

Blizzard should give Overwatch for free. I mean it has loot boxes but they are still selling you the game. Starcraft II used to be sold, now it is free to download and they make up for it by selling cosmetics. I think Overwatch should do the same. At least if you buy the game you should have access to the PC version too or vice versa . Last time I checked, the cosmetics were not linked between the PC version and the console version.

Small correction: Torbjorn is not a “fellow support,” Torbjorn is a defense hero.

I honestly don't understand why they chose Kerrigan's human form over her Zerg form, the Queen of Blades.

Oh look, it's a Nova skin with different colored hair.

Who do they have making skins for this game? Monkeys? Because with the money they have made on this you would think they could put out more than 1 or 2 skins every month that aren't just recolors of already available ones. Hell the OW characters in HotS have better looking and more varied skins than they do in OW.

@Deano:

I would be more grateful if they hadn't nerfed gold gain into the ground making it 10x harder to get skins you actually want.

@bonesinc: Seriously, Overwatch is terrible. It's probably the least popular multiplayer game ever. I bet Blizzard lost money on it, it's been so unsuccessful.

@oligarchy: stop talking about shit you have no idea about. Overwatch is quickly becoming Blizzards most lucrative IP. And NO, I’m not comparing it to WOW in its heyday. Just because your sore ass got wrecked on this game and you’re bitter about it, doesn’t mean others can’t enjoy it. Go back to playing COD
