Rediscover a Real-Time Strategy Classic
StarCraft introduced many revolutionary new features that have since become staples of the real-time strategy genre: asymmetric factions, meticulous balance, and a strong emphasis on deep strategy and high accessibility. Find out why, after more than ten years, StarCraft continues to headline gaming tournaments worldwide.
StarCraft: Remastered upgrades Blizzard Entertainment’s original sci-fi real-time strategy game and its acclaimed expansion, StarCraft: Brood War, from beginning to end. Experience the intergalactic battle between the Terran, Protoss, and Zerg with improved graphics and audio, and the same classic gameplay that made StarCraft a global phenomenon.
