StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty is the sequel to the 1998 video game by Blizzard Entertainment, StarCraft. Developed for concurrent release on Windows and Mac OS X, StarCraft II is split into three installments: the base game with the subtitle Wings of Liberty, expansion pack Heart of the Swarm, and expansion pack Legacy of the Void.
StarCraft II is set in the 26th century in a distant part of our galaxy, and revolves around three species: the Terrans (human exiles from Earth), the Zerg (a race of insectoid genetic assimilators), and the Protoss (a species with vast psionic power). Wings of Liberty will have a specific focus on the Terrans. Focusing on the Zerg and Protoss are the expansions Heart of the Swarm and Legacy of the Void.
Blizzard will ship 'StarCraft: Remastered' for macOS on August 14, with the developer remaking the original game in the real-time strategy franchise with a number of updates to modernize the title, including a full graphical upgrade with support for 4K-resolution displays and backwards compatibility to the older, free version.

First announced in March, the remake of 'StarCraft' covers both the original 19-year-old release and the 'Brood War' expansion, putting players in control of armies in the 26th century, with Terrans taking on the insect-like Zerg, the Protoss, and the Xel'Naga. Despite its age, and the later release of 'StarCraft 2', the first generation of 'StarCraft' continues to be played by a large fanbase, and is also still being played competitively in tournaments.
For the remastered edition, Blizzard has updated the graphical features of the game to take advantage of modern systems, including widescreen UHD support for 4K screens. All units and environments have been refreshed for the release, with the audio also receiving some rework to make the music and sound play at a higher fidelity.

Modern features including cloud saving of campaign progress, replays, and hotkey settings are being introduced, with players also gaining profiles that will track various statistics of their gameplay. For multiplayer gaming, a new matchmaking system and leaderboards are added, but it will also still be fully compatible with the existing version of 'StarCraft,' allowing players of the remastered version to play with the earlier release, which Blizzard has made available to download for free.
