StarCraft: Remastered will offer a full graphical overhaul of the original StarCraft and the StarCraft: Brood War expansion, while preserving the sublime gameplay that captivated millions of gamers around the world and served as the foundation for professional global esports.

The remastered graphics and audio will bring a modern look and feel to the timeless classic, with widescreen UHD support for up to 4K resolution.

While these improvements will bring StarCraft to the modern era, gameplay and balance have been precisely preserved, for an experience that will feel identical to veteran players.

"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."
