Warcraft III: Reforged is now live

Warcraft fans can now relive some of the most epic moments in Azeroth’s history with the release of Warcraft III: Reforged, a thorough reimagining of Blizzard’s groundbreaking real-time strategy game. The remaster combines the original Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and its award-winning expansion, The Frozen Throne, Warcraft III: Reforged. Players can take on the single-player story which spans seven individual campaigns. There’s also been a top-to-bottom overhaul of the graphics and sound, up-to-date social and matchmaking features via Blizzard’s Battle.net online-gaming service, and a revamped World Editor to power the community’s creations.

The game features over 60 missions to experience from the eyes of four factions—the mighty Orcs, the noble Humans, the ancient Night Elves, and the insidious Undead. Players will witness first hand key moments in Azeroth’s history, from the Burning Legion’s invasion to the ascension of the Lich King, and learn the origins of iconic Warcraft characters like Thrall, Jaina Proudmoore, Sylvanas Windrunner, Illidan Stormrage, and others.

J. Allen Brack, president of Blizzard Entertainment said:

“Warcraft III is one of our proudest achievements as a company, and we’re honored that so many players around the world still hold it up as a paragon of the RTS genre. With Warcraft III: Reforged, our biggest goal was to modernize the game while retaining everything that players have loved about it, and we hope everyone agrees that we’ve done it justice.”
