SC:R is set to release in US August 14, 2017, and is priced at $15 with pre-purchase bonus cosmetic town hall skins. Release comes early for Korean PC cafes on July 30th, 2017, and there seems to be a deluxe physical edition. SC:R features multiple levels of updated visuals (original, remastered, and environmental effects/real-time lighting) with widescreen/4K support, remastered audio, enhanced narrative (graphic novel interludes for those blocks of green exposition text), cloud saves, matchmaking & leaderboards, and support for 13 languages. With the pre-order skins and a mention of a 2 week "experience boost" at PC cafes, it seems like a level-based system for unlocking cosmetics may already be in the game, but no details are currently available.
Here's some gameplay Broll for those who want to see it in action, and Ars Technica has an article about the (re)creation of the game!
For my part, this is really exciting! The price feels really reasonable (was expecting something more like $30) and I'm digging the new visuals (other than the zergling death anim...). Definitely picking this up!
