StarCraft II Turned into a 25 Chapter Horror Survival Game Thanks to This Total Conversion Mod

The StarCraft franchise is another wildly beloved series from the team over at Blizzard and while we were all busy constructing additional pylons, one team has been working to bring a little something new to the experience.

The latest project revolving around our highly revered StarCraft II title comes from the team behind Dead Zone - Hope Lost. This project take StarCraft and converts it into a 25-chapter horror survival game that comes equipped with incredible places to explore and five possible endings for players to uncover. This total conversion mod is all built within Legacy of the Void, which was a standalone expansion in itself.

Though the project itself isn't totally complete yet, the team working tirelessly on it have provided a few interesting insights into the progress being made. The video above shows off how the combat will work, as well the cyclic day/night mechanics to provide further immersion. The project itself will be fully voice-acted, as well as a few other key surprises that have yet to be revealed.
