StarCraft, one of the world’s most iconic titles is turning 20 this month – on March 31 to be more precise – and to celebrate this special date, Blizzard Entertainment announced that they will be distributing a whole bunch of free content and rewards for players who log in or perform certain actions across multiple titles during this month and the first week of April.

Overwatch fans will surely be delighted about the new Widowmaker skin, based on the iconic Sarah Kerrigan from the original Starcraft game, before her transformation into the feared Queen of Blades. All players have to do between March 6 and April 3 is to simply log into the game in order to unlock it. With so many players eager to try out the new skin, expect more Widowmakers jumping and running around trying - and perhaps most of the time missing - for that perfect headshot.

Meanwhile, Hearthstone players can receive three free packs from the Kobolds and Catacombs expansion. In order to receive the packs, you need to participate in a StarCraft-themed Tavern Brawl, which will be available for 5 days only - from March 21 to 25, so make sure to mark the date on your calendar!

Also make sure to check out other Blizzard titles that will be also getting in-game rewards, such as StarCraft: Remastered, StarCraft 2, Diablo 3, Heroes of the Storm, and World of Warcraft.

Check out the full list of rewards below and what you have to do in order to unlock them:
