<p>Widely regarded as one of the most influential strategy games of all time, <em>StarCraft</em> and <em>Brood War</em> tell the story of the first interstellar war between three distinctive factions: the Earth-born terrans, psi-powered protoss, and hive-minded zerg. <em>StarCraft: Remastered</em> lets players reexperience the saga of iconic characters like Jim Raynor, High Templar Tassadar, and Kerrigan, through upgraded 4K visuals, enhanced audio and music, and new illustrated story interludes.</p>
<p><em>StarCraft: Remastered</em> continues to use the same legendary gameplay engine that’s made <em>StarCraft</em> a competitive gaming and esports staple for nearly two decades.

<p>“We know how much <em>StarCraft</em> and <em>Brood War</em> mean to our community around the world, and our primary mission with <em>StarCraft: Remastered</em> was to enhance as much as we could while keeping the core <em>StarCraft</em> experience intact,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. “Whether you’re a <em>StarCraft</em> veteran or you’re experiencing the beginning of the saga for the first time, we hope you enjoy revisiting the Koprulu Sector as much as we did.”</p>
