Blizzard Entertainment just announced that it will launch StarCraft: Remastered, a remade version of the real-time strategy hit that debuted in 1998.

The remake will have 4K graphics and 1080p cinematics, upgraded audio, and a comics-like mission narrative and introduction. The gameplay will be “precisely” the same as the original title. StarCraft is one of the most celebrated games of all time, and it is a national pastime in South Korea, where it has carried on as an esport for almost two decades.
