Blizzard Entertainment will re-release the original StarCraft and StarCraft: Brood War as a high-definition remake called StarCraft: Remastered, Blizzard president Mike Morhaime announced during the company’s I <3 StarCraft event in Seoul, Korea today.

StarCraft: Remastered will offer the classic real-time strategy game’s campaign and multiplayer mode updated for “4K UHD” resolution. The remaster will also include StarCraft’s “original soundtrack and dialogue, re-recorded and rejuvenated,” as well as revamped briefings between missions.

As for the game’s remastered visuals, Blizzard says players will be able to “zoom out for a Battlecruiser’s view of the battlefield, or zoom in to see the veins on a Mutalisk’s wings.”

“StarCraft is a pure distillation of Blizzard’s DNA—its story, its balance, and all the little details reflect our long-running commitment to epic entertainment, and it’s been a staple in competitive gaming and esports for almost 20 years,” Morhaime said in a press release. “With StarCraft: Remastered, we’re modernizing the original game’s visuals, audio, and online support to ensure that players can enjoy StarCraft for another 20 years and beyond.”

Other enhancements coming in StarCraft: Remastered include “advanced matchmaking; full connectivity to Blizzard’s gaming network for social features and updates; cloud saving for campaign progress, custom maps, replays, and keybinds” and support for 13 languages.

StarCraft: Remastered is coming to Mac and Windows PC this summer. Check out some screenshots of the original game and their remastered counterparts in the gallery below.

The original StarCraft was released for Windows PC in 1998 and followed by an expansion, Brood War, later that year. Blizzard released a sequel, StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty, in 2010.

Just graphic updates lel

shit, it still looks shit compared to starcraft 2

blizzard no money that why remastered it

Me think so too

59 for the whol bundle + whatever eidition per purchase no money ??!!! u joking right, its call saving cost, and draining dem nerds want some of dem nostalgia feels. i bet it is gonna cost like 20~60 bucks per episode. Blizzard is famous for that i am not suprised.

why you all think its shit?
blizz giving it as free already and still not satisfied?
upgraded graphic, updated voice and retain all gameplay and interface.
those who played this game during 90s will surely come back for this.
also, rumors about remaster of starcraft already surfaced. its not about money.
(although they milk alot money from sc2,d3,heroes,overwatch)
no matter, i still will gonna take it.
it is confirmed it is going to be free of charge!!
wait for 30th march when the patch is live, every 1 can play!
more details from here>>

Does anyone know if the ingame video clips will be remastered?
If it does, it will be poweroverwhelming!!!
Doesnt matter anyway, will still download and play it. It is free, showmethemoney bebeh.

as shown in the trailer i think the cinematic are also will be remastered, they even include new and improved voice actings.

Awesome. Cant wait for it.

Will SCBW and SCRemastered online be connected or separated?

blizzard say the old SCBW / Remastered will bind together with current battletnet ID

i think you need to pay for remastered but free for 90's edition

correct, and i do not mind paying for remastered version.

Same here. Old man like us sure will buy or Play it.

anyone here playing on the Asia PTR server?

i not yet start play ladder. need to get familiar back the playstyle

Somehow all games are two bars yellow for me in Asia while US has some 5 green bar games

ya. unfortunately the latency when we join US games are crazy. cant even play it properly..

too much traffic in Asia, alot players are back playing it

Usually with 5 green bars in US server, I could play without much problem if set to extra high latency.

Either it will have its own icon or not even in the blizzard app. Currently the team is considering which is better

im guessing it will be inside blizzard app, not in sc2 for sure

Very stupid question here, how am i suppose to configure for full hd?

bro, remastered version not yet release.

USD$19.99

normal price.

haha yeah I also terpedaya initially. Was thinking, is this the best they can do for the remastered Starcraft, so sad man .

better voice, improved graphic.
nothing i can complain already, sure going to buy the remastered version
the fact they make starcraft broodwar completely free is awesome already

dont know how much

hope remastered price

SHIT 4K MON REQUIRED
