I recently had a conversation with a credible source with information from a high level Blizzard employee that a larger development team has been assigned to StarCraft 2. Their first order is to deal with the hacking situation within the game, but allegedly something larger is on the horizon in 2027. That may be in the form of a new expansion, but more likely is the possibility of a StarCraft 2: Remastered.

That information seems to be corroborated here from Mapu.

I see a lot of people saying there's nothing to remaster on those threads, but I see a lot to remaster! Graphics are fine, changes should be under the hood. The UI from Heroes is lame and was really sad when that dropped with LotV, wonder if they'll actually manage to stop the cheaters what with the proliferation of AI and the average Joe catching word that anyone can use these tools with few computer skills.

I want to believe so, SO badly yet my hope is so little. Is this going to be a dedicated team of Omnis or an actual, real team of real developers and RTS players? The situation there was a shit fest, the idea Blizzard would even associate themselves with someone like that shows they do not care.

Can someone who is smarter than me (everyone on this site) list some reasons to be hopeful that Blizzard got it together? My feeble brain sees no hope.

Dealing with the hacking is great to hear, I hope they resolve it soon. Hoping more investment in the tournament scene as well from Blizzard, that would be excellent.

If you look at what shieldbattery has done, blizzard has a lot more work to do with actual SC:remastered, not sc2?

I'm doubtful, especially with the omission of Starcraft Remastered

Make sure you tell them about the IP-Range Server block hacking in starcraft 2, after a certain MMR you literally can't get games to start in team games, accross all three servers

Thanks!

God only knows how much damage they can do with a larger team (3 interns instead of the usual 1) and a shit load of Claude and ChatGPT...

I don't think it will happen, but I would love to see it. Biggest improvement would be optimising it for multi-core CPU.

I wonder if the hypothetical changes / improvements are truly so significant that they require a Remastered version, and not just regular patches / updates to SC2. Either way, thanks for sharing!

Right now SC2 is pretty much free2play. After they "Remaster" it, which is basically just add some more MTX, they gonna charge 40 bucks for SC2: Remaster and make SC2 non-Remaster unplayable.

StarCraft: Remastered came out, was well received, and OG Brood War was left untouched. Could be like that 🤷‍♂️

that will be an interesting move. weren't some of the skin packs framed as being used to help fund esports for the specific year in which they were sold? is that their excuse to make the money customers spent on skins meaningless? LOL.

guys.. you just do not understand the real meaning of the words "buy" and "own". what they really mean is that you give us money and we do whatever we feel like doing.

i'd like a Global Conquest Map mode like C&C3 Kane's Wrath had. it'd be cool if Blizzard could create a community platform for such maps. Have individual creators make planets for this mode.

True but I always expect it to be a WC3 Reforged situation so I'm prepared for the worst and positivly surprised if stuff is actually decent

Understandably, but to be fair:
Blizzard nailed it two times with Diablo and Starcraft. Both times the key was to only polish the graphics, put in some QoL and be done with it. Minimal effort and maximal customer satisfaction.
For Reforged, they wanted to really make it something new, in its original conception it was closer to a remake than a remastered, atleast in terms of the campaign. Aaaaand then they panicked, scratched most of it and ran out of time. And immediately after the disaster dropped onto people, they fired the entire team and restructured the whole thing for two years or whatever.
Long story short: Pretty sure they learned from that. Why invest more and increase the odds of failure or do it very casual and close-nitted, when that seems to work pretty well.

What is almost certainly a typo really shouldn't be what's influencing an apparently more credible source saying there's something "big" on the horizon. No one would've thought of a remaster if it wasn't for that e-mail that again, was almost certainly a typo.
