StarCraft getting a remastered HD release (video)

StarCraft is almost 19 years old and the franchise is still going strong. Blizzard announces today it will soon release a remastered version of StarCraft, which will include the original game as well as the Brood War expansion pack.

It has the same look & feel of the original, but contains higher-resolution graphics with support for widescreen resolutions of up to 4K, revised dialogue and audio, and the ability to zoom in and out. A couple before and after screenshots can be viewed at the StarCraft site.

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.

You can expect the game in Summer 2017.
