Trailer:

Blizzard has officially announced StarCraft: Remastered, a high-definition remake of the beloved sci-fi strategy game.

As its title suggests, the game will feature updated graphics — 4K UHD, to be precise — while retaining the gameplay of the original StarCraft. This includes details such as Mutalisk stacking, magic-boxing, control-group limitations, unit pathfinding, and more. The game is due out for the PC and Mac this summer.

The game will include the classic StarCraft and Brood War campaigns, as well as LAN and online multiplayer. The original story cinematics will be bumped up to 1080p resolution. In addition to the updated visuals, it will also feature updated audio.  Cloud support will let players keep their saves, custom maps, replays, and keybind settings online. 

As part of preparations for the release of StarCraft: Remastered, Blizzard will be updating StarCraft: Brood War in the coming days to version 1.18. This patch will include various bug fixes and improvements, including the addition of an observer mode, modern anti-cheat features, improved compatibility with Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10.

Following the update, Blizzard will release StarCraft Anthology (which includes the original StarCraft and the Brood War expansion) as a free download.

I'd love for them to do Warcraft II next. Either way, sounds cool :)



This would be great on the Switch.



Ah shit. I need a better pc than my crap laptop.



Countless hours well spent in highschool and college. Not sure I can invest that many as an adult. Who am I kidding? Day 1!

Does it include Insurrection and Retribution though?

This is probably the most excited I have been about a remaster in years... Also happy StarCraft and Brood Wars classic is going free for everyone. No excuses now not to play this amazing RTS.

Too bad it will probably be battle.net exclusive. Probably would have got it at some point if it was on Steam.

How can it be exclusive to a dead platform??

Doesn't look dead to me?

Regardless, not on Steam = not buying

I still remember my StarCraft CD Key off-by heart from 20 years ago. Not being on Steam isn't an issue for me. Haha

Think they could have taken the models a bit further, but the extra clarity and modern aspect ratio are very welcome.



Deff will replay if they rework the cinematics and stuff, the campaign was amazing.
Mechanics are too old for me to spent much time in multiplayer but damnit will be awesome watching the pro scene in a normal resolution lol

 

IF THEY DO THIS WITH DIABLO 2 I WILL HAVE NO LIFE :D had to caps because damnit emotions
