StarCraft Remastered

[MetalSoup]

It's finally happening and it looks awesome!

Rediscover a Classic

StarCraft® Remastered upgrades the essential sci-fi strategy experience from beginning to end. Welcome back to the original game and its award-winning expansion, StarCraft: Brood War.

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.

It says "This summer" which translates to winter in SA, thus somewhere between June and August. It's Blizzard though, so don't expect it before December.

If we own StarCraft on the Blizzard client, do we automatically get the upgrade?

Did i hear correctly its going to be free to play?

The regular game will become free, they haven't announced a price for the remastered version yet.

O ok, because i have the original game CD Keys loaded on my blizzard account... So i wonder if they will still charge again for the remaster?

Probably. You already got what you paid for.

There's no way it's going to be free.

The original game will be free. The HD version will be an upgrade you can buy.
