Word from the gaming community is that Blizzard is working on an original Starcraft HD edition. A story published in Korea and translated by Kotaku says that Blizzard will reveal an update of the great science fiction rts in September. Just in time for my birthday!
The HD remake will offer the same gameplay as original release, but will have updated graphics and an improved user interface. According to the report, details will be revealed in November at BlizCon but the initial announcement would be better for next month because it will coincide with the final Starcraft 2 World Championships series Circuit Event for 2016.
These are just rumors as of now but it does make sense because last year Blizzard was looking for a senior software engineer to work on its classic games. Starcraft is 18 years old and Starcraft 2 ain't no spring chicken either yet its still super popular both casually and as an esport. An HD remake makes a lot of sense now that esports are more popular now than when Starcraft was initially released.
Blizzard is keeping quiet for now. I'm looking forward to this remake because I loved Starcraft and Brood War with an intense gaming passion as a kid. Even though I wasn't that good (Zerg rusher) and only played Big Game Hunters and money maps the game had a strong impact on me as a youth. It was an awesome gaming experience and one of my first pc games. They should totally do a Warcraft 3 HD edition too. That would be awesome!
James Raynor: This should be good.
