Blizzard Entertainment Announces StarCraft: Remastered

Blizzard Entertainment today unveiled StarCraft: Remastered, a modernization of the original real-time strategy game. StarCraft: Remastered will offer a full graphical overhaul of the original StarCraft and the StarCraft: Brood War expansion, while preserving the gameplay.

The remastered graphics and audio will bring a modern look and feel to the classic, with widescreen UHD support for up to 4K resolution. Other updates will include new illustrations to enhance storytelling in the StarCraft and StarCraft: Brood War campaign missions; advanced matchmaking; full connectivity to Blizzard’s gaming network for social features and updates; cloud saving for campaign progress, custom maps, replays, and keybinds; support for eight new languages in addition to the original five; and more. While these improvements will bring StarCraft to the modern era, gameplay and balance have been precisely preserved, for an experience that will feel identical to veteran players.

Blizzard is developing StarCraft: Remastered for release on PC, with an anticipated release date this summer. Pricing on StarCraft: Remastered will be announced at a later date.
