This is a Samurai-Gamers News Article on the recently released StarCraft Remastered.
StarCraft Remastered is now Live!
Heroes of the Storm, Overwatch, and World of WarCraft developer Blizzard Entertainment re-invigorates an old classic that is still incredibly popular nowadays in E-sports circles. Developed in 1998 and conceptualized at first as “WarCraft in Space,” StarCraft and its Brood War expansion has become a massive hit. Yours truly was incredibly inspired by that video game and its wonderful lore, along with the massive number of people who adore it for its incredibly balanced gameplay in multiplayer.
Well, it’s twenty years later. After the massive success (apart from its story) of StarCraft II, it seems that Blizzard isn’t over with StarCraft yet. Not only do we have a very recent novel to check out, we also have this incredibly amazing Remastered edition of the original StarCraft.
