Starcraft Universe releases first multiplayer raid encounter for Kickstarter

With their Starcraft Universe Kickstarted headed into its final days, Upheaval Arts has an enticement for prospective donors: its first, entirely free multiplayer content released to the public.

Starcraft Universe: Final Testament is a “complex boss raid, tailored towards hardcore fans of MMO raiding.” This boss encounter is the first multiplayer content released for Starcraft Universe. Players don’t need to buy Starcraft II to play Starcraft Universe; the free starter bundle for Starcraft II will suffice.

The alpha build currently available boasts a variety of complex features, including:

  • A 20-minute, multi-stage boss encounter featuring voice acting by Eric Dieter and music by David Orr during the encounter
  • Five-player multiplayer
  • Eight playable classes: Firebat, Marine, Ghost, Medic, Zealot, High Templar, Dark Templar, and Preserver
  • Unique visual assets
  • A ten level cap and a wide selection of abilities with the option to learn different abilities from class mentors
  • Crafted and customizable items
  • Driving and fighting in vehicles
