Starcraft Remastered is now available

Blizzard has announced that as of today, Starcraft Remastered is now live and that the Battlecruisers are operational, the Corsairs stand ready, and the Zerglings are boosted for the rush.



Widely regarded as one of the most influential strategy games of all time, StarCraft and Brood War tell the story of the first interstellar war between three distinctive factions: the Earth-born terrans, psi-powered protoss, and hive-minded zerg. StarCraft: Remastered lets players reexperience the saga of iconic characters like Jim Raynor, High Templar Tassadar, and Kerrigan, through upgraded 4K visuals, enhanced audio and music, and new illustrated story interludes.

“We know how much StarCraft and Brood War mean to our community around the world, and our primary mission with StarCraft: Remastered was to enhance as much as we could while keeping the core StarCraft experience intact,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. “Whether you’re a StarCraft veteran or you’re experiencing the beginning of the saga for the first time, we hope you enjoy revisiting the Koprulu Sector as much as we did.”

The game supports modern PC's with things like Widescreen UHD 4K Resolution and cloud based saves, but along with the remastered visuals, players will also have the option to swap back and forth between the old and the new, with a press of a button.
