Rumour alert everyone. It appears that Blizzard is currently working on a HD Remaster version of StarCraft: Brood War. StarCraft: Brood War is considered one of the best parts of the StarCraft series, and according to the Korean online publication inews24, a HD Remaster will be announced this September.
According to inews24, multiple sources, including a Blizzard insider, confirmed this HD Remaster of StarCraft: Brood War. In addition, this Remaster is said to be officially unveiled this September, during the StarCraft II World Championship Series Copa Intercontinental in Mexico.
It is said that this Remaster will feature better visuals and an overhauled UI.
More information regarding StarCraft: Brood War HD Remaster is said to be made during the upcoming BlizzCon 2016 this November.
As always, take this with a grain of salt.
Stay tuned for more!

This is excellent news if true.
Blizzard said last year:
“We need engineers to help maintain our legacy games.”
It was in regards to a position listing. Will post link in another comment (takes a while for DSOG to approve).

OMG! I will buy it for sure. Now brace yourself people, im about to shock you.
I will spend up to 100 $ if they remake Warcraft 3. If everything works well and its perfect, (the same game, just looking better and proper Bnet support) i would get it in a heart beat.
For me Warcraft 3 is right next to Half Life. Its super damn impressive and important (imho)
With what I heard abotu the “Legacy of the VOID” performance improvements (multithreading), I wouldn’t be against making further titles, or remasters, on the same engine.
I think will be like AOE II HD,not so much in textures,content.Imo.
If they will have this remaster on SC2 engine then will be really really great.
I need to change my pants.
I hope Blizzard also remasters Warcraft 3 or release a sequel in the near future 🙁
This^^
Brood War doesn’t need to be remastered. It is already a perfect game.
Not really. Path finding and grouping system is pretty bad and showing its age.
We get one of these every few months for the last two years or so, mate.
Last time it was Warcraft 3, this time it’s Starcraft.
All I know, is that we’ve yet to see a single f*cking thing come from these rumours 🙁
thats actually something i will look forward to,playing starcraft on modern OS is kind of an hassle
I would totally buy Warcraft II, Warcraft III, Starcraft, Diablo and Diablo II with a new interface and widescreen support.
No, those should be free to users.
