Sadly, Blizzard hasn’t said anything that could even remotely hint towards a release date. Particularly given that RTS games are in such short supply at the moment. This is, put simply, a smart choice for a remake.
One of which that will likely be of interest to some of you will be the inclusion of mod support which will essentially allow people to take the base game to a whole new level of interest.
For those of you who never played it, the game is essentially the precursor to ‘World of Warcraft’ showing how things went tits up in Azeroth and the downfall of Arthas into the Lich King.Īs you might expect though, this is getting a nice new coat of graphical gloss and, of course, more than a few modernisations. Warcraft 3: Reforged, the full remaster of the original Warcraft 3, was announced during the BlizzCon 2018 opening ceremony.The remaster will be available some time in 2019 and can be preordered at and comes with in-game goodies for all other Blizzard games, including a functioning catapult mount for World of Warcraft. The game will represent a remake of both the original Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and its (arguably better) expansion, The Frozen Throne. With the release of around 50-minutes worth of gameplay footage, however, we finally have something we can sink our teeth into! Is Blizzard Onto A Winner Here? Warcraft III Reforged is a remake of the original 2002 RTS classic and is honestly one of my most favourite games of all time! Since announcing its existence around 2 years ago, however, Blizzard hasn’t been particularly forthcoming with the news. Yes, Blizzard has finally released some new gameplay videos from Warcraft III Reforged and, I must admit, I can’t wait for this to be released.
While there is sadly little news in regards to the former, there is something to get a little optimistic over in the latter. It is easy to forget though, that Blizzard is currently working on two remakes from their older IPs. While the release of World of Warcraft Classic is, no doubt, bolstering things a little bit in terms of revenue, it doesn’t gloss over the fact that (taking expansions out of the mix) it’s been over 3 years now since they released anything ‘new’. If one thing is clear at Blizzard, it’s that they are currently in something of a desperate need to release a new game.
