StarCraft Remastered rumours are back, potential release planned this summer

Matthew Wilson March 15, 2017 Featured Tech News, Software & Gaming

It looks like the StarCraft HD remake rumours are doing the rounds again, this time claiming that Blizzard will be releasing the game as soon as May or June. The StarCraft remake would feature the same gameplay elements as the original game to get long-time fans on board but things like graphics and UI elements would be updated to modern standards.

This particular rumour comes from Korean esports site, Sports Seoul, which also claims that Blizzard might be preparing to announce this game as soon as next week. However, the report also claims that some of the major stakeholders in StarCraft as an esport were shown an early build behind closed doors at Blizzcon last November.

This isn't the first time we have heard about StarCraft coming back in HD form though. Reports first began popping up as far back as November 2015. A similar rumour also appeared in August 2016, claiming that an announcement would be made during the StarCraft 2 World Championship tournament. At the time, Blizzard refused to comment, only leading to further speculation.

KitGuru Says: As awesome as it would be to see StarCraft return in updated form, we've heard this rumour several times now and it hasn't panned out so far. I wouldn't get my hopes up for this particular rumour but we'll have to wait and see. May and June are awfully close so if this rumour is true, Blizzard would need to say something official quite soon.

Marathon has reportedly sold 1.2M copies so far, with most being on PC

Due to delays and internal reboots, Marathon ended up being in development for much longer than initially planned. With a six year timeline, the cost of producing the game rose exponentially for Bungie, with estimates putting the final number in the $250M to $300M range. Despite positive reviews from those that have given the game a chance, Marathon has reportedly only shifted an estimated 1.2M copies so far, with the vast majority of that coming from the PC market.
