Developer Upheaval Arts is announcing that its Starcraft Universe mod is now live on the Kickstarter crowd-funding service, asking fans to contribute in order to see the entire project completed and launched.

Starcraft Universe will use MMO and role-playing mechanics and will allow gamers to explore an alternate universe that’s created when the ending of Wings of Liberty is changed in significant ways.

Players will be able to choose a race and class and then try to survive as the planets he knows are attacked by hybrids.

The game will be free-to-play via Battle.net for all those who own the original Starcraft II.

At the moment, the team is aiming to get 80,000 dollars (61,000 Euro) and there are significant stretch goals included, like a MOBA style Player vs. Player arena and a playable Zerg race.

Those who are interested in the Starcraft Universe MMO will be able to contribute via Kickstarter for another 28 days.
