The original StarCraft launched back in March 1998, at least in North America, while Brood War followed in November. You can see how it's evolved in the StarCraft Remastered trailer below. As for the remake, this will include spruced up assets, resolution, audio, and story cinematics. This shows a lot of confidence on Blizzard's part that people will still pay for the upgrade when the original games are free. Experience the intergalactic battle between the terran, protoss, and zerg with improved graphics and audioand the same classic gameplay that made StarCraft a global phenomenon. If you have limited knowledge to the game or not at all, just buy remastered version on a sale and play the remastered campaign, play couple of matches with your pal, try the ladder for a few times, and move on with your life.

It's just free on both PC and Mac.Īlong with making the games free, Blizzard updated these perennial classics with a new 1.18 patch adding a few key features like the ability to toggle between fullscreen and windowed modes (Alt+Enter), an Observer mode, autosaves, improved UI layouts in, improved compatibility with Windows 7, 8.1 and 10, and more. StarCraft: Remastered upgrades Blizzard Entertainment’s original sci-fi real-time strategy game and its acclaimed expansion, StarCraft: Brood War, from beginning to end. Just be thankful that Starcraft remastered turned out to be at least a decent remaster of its glorious counterpart.
