Blizzard first worked with developer Nihilistic Software, then later Swingin' Ape Studios. Starcraft Ghost was announced in 2002, and was originally going to launch on the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and Gamecube. Kotaku later updated its story saying a source had provided a link to the build of Starcraft Ghost that people have managed to get their hands on, saying it was from a dev kit of the game. The footage shows a noticeably more visually polished version of Starcraft Ghost, featuring a lot of similar running and shooting gameplay. Meneses says he used a modded Xbox 360 to access the game.Īnother user by the name of Delso Bezerra appears to have uploaded separate footage of Starcraft Ghost as well. The gameplay itself seems pretty bog standard, even by early 2000s standards (to say nothing of the usual Blizzard polish), which may indicate at least one reason the game struggled to reach completion.

Nova later ziplines across a battlefield. In the footage, we can see Starcraft Ghost protagonist Nova running around a very early 2000’s 3D alien planet, climbing some ledges, and firing on a massive alien with her Gauss Rifle, which, instead of firing projectiles, appears to call down a Hammer of Dawn-style energy beam. Screenshot: Starcraft Ghost from Leers Meneses YouTuber Leers Meneses shared the footage, which appears to be from the third mission of the same game that Borman earlier tweeted about. Who would have thought a month ago that Starcraft Ghost would leak in some form? /24wCp4XBsE- Andrew Borman FebruIf a couple of screenshots aren’t enough for you, another person has uploaded about 11 minutes of footage from Starcraft Ghost to YouTube. Images of Starcraft Ghost appeared on Twitter user Andrew Borman’s feed Sunday morning, who said that the images were posted anonymously in Xbox forums.


The footage gives us a major look into Blizzard’s troubled offshoot game. An early, playable Xbox build of Starcraft Ghost, the canceled third-person shooter set in Blizzard’s Starcraft universe, has reportedly leaked online, according to Kotaku.
