Rumour: Blizzard working on Starcraft HD remaster

August 6, 2016

According to Korean outlet iNews24 and picked up by Kotaku, Blizzard are working on a remastered version of its 1998 real-time strategy classic, Starcraft.

Multiple sources confirmed to iNews24 that the company is working on such a remaster, and that it will be revealed in September. Most likely this means it will be revealed at the COPA International World Championship Starcraft event in Mexico City that month. A full reveal of the game would then be revealed at Blizzcon in November.

Starcraft remains one of the most popular games in the world, even 18 years after its release, and a HD remaster that updated the game’s ageing visuals but retained its fast-paced gameplay would help keep it alive for even longer.

Blizzard have not confirmed the report at the time of writing.
