Blizzard Confirms StarCraft: Remastered Release, Carriers Arrive On August 14
Step back in time to when the Terran, Protoss, and Zerg war first started in StarCraft: Remastered. Blizzard Entertainment officially confirmed yesterday that they will indeed be releasing a remastered version of the iconic and widely-popular Starcraft and Starcraft: Brood War games.
“StarCraft®: Remastered upgrades the essential sci-fi strategy experience from beginning to end. Welcome back to the original game and its award-winning expansion, StarCraft: Brood War.
We’ve remastered our units, buildings, and environments, improved game audio, and broadened our supported resolutions. Illustrated interludes bring the struggles and victories of heroes like Artanis, Fenix, Tassadar, Raynor and Kerrigan to life like never before. Most importantly, the strategy gameplay that StarCraft perfected years ago remains unchanged.”
Starcraft: Remastered will feature UHD 4K graphics, remastered audio and dialogue, and widescreen support along with other features you’d expect to find in more modern games such as a matchmaking system, leaderboards, cloud saving, and player profiles. Players can also switch between the remastered version and the original game with a simple click of a button. In addition, the remastered version will also be compatible with the original game which allows players who purchased the Starcraft: Remastered upgrade to play with those who haven’t.
The game is scheduled to come out on August 14th and is now available for pre-purchase on the official site. Players who pre-purchase the game will receive a number of in-game rewards which include three exclusive building skins and unique StarCraft II items including the co-op commander Alexei Stukov and three Starcraft: Remastered-themed portraits.
Updated graphics, same timeless gameplay. 👍
