Blizzard releases StarCraft Remastered

15 August 2017

Blizzard has released StarCraft Remastered, a modern version of StarCraft and the StarCraft: Brood War expansion.

StarCraft has received an audio and graphics upgrade, with support for widescreens and 4K resolutions. It also features matchmaking, leaderboards, cloud saving settings, and replays.

You will also be able to switch between StarCraft Remastered and the original StarCraft.

The release of StarCraft Remastered coincides with Blizzard stating it would change the name of its online gaming service and launcher back to Battle.net.

“When we announced we’d be transitioning away from Battle.net, we suspected the shift would be challenging,” said Blizzard.

“To help offset some of the original concerns we listed, we will be connecting Blizzard to Battle.net in our logo for the service, and in general when we refer to it in print: Blizzard Battle.net.”
