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.
StarCraft: Remastered continues to use the same legendary
gameplay engine that’s made StarCraft a competitive gaming and
esports staple for nearly two decades. The classic gameplay is
reinforced with new online features that propel the multiplayer
experience into the modern era and beyond. Remastered provides
players with matchmaking and leaderboards, cloud saves, as well as
full multiplayer compatibility with the original versions of
StarCraft and Brood War.
“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.”
