Blizzard also re-recorded all the audio, added illustrated interludes and modernized the game’s online features with stuff like leaderboards, stat tracking and cloud saves. As every unit, building and environmental backdrop has been upgraded to the sort of crisp, filigreed levels you’d expect from units, buildings and environments in a 2017 game (including support for widescreen display ratios and ultra-high-definition 4K graphics), it looks quite different from the original.
That includes the expansion pack, StarCraft: Brood War. It’s happening again, and soon: You can have StarCraft: Remastered, a visually reworked version of the legendary 1998 real-time strategy game that’s become an exalted eSport, on August 14 for $14.99.
