Warcraft celebrates 30th anniversary by keeping old promises
Blizzard announced several new products and events to celebrate the Warcraft franchise’s 30th anniversary during a special video presentation today.
This includes remasters for the original Warcraft and its sequel, Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness. Blizzard has also revamped the controversial Warcraft III Reforged, updating its visuals and adding quality-of-life features. All three of the classic Warcraft real-time strategy games are available together starting today in $40 bundle.
The original launch of Reforged was a disaster for Blizzard when it released in 2020, as it was missing key features from the original game and suffered a myriad of bugs. For many, it was a sign that Blizzard had lost its way. Reforged 2.0 could help heal those old wounds.
The hit MMO World of Warcraft is also getting some love. This includes player housing, a feature originally planned for the game way back during its 2004’s launch. That feature will launch in the game’s next expansion, Midnight.
In the meantime, the current expansion’s next update will send players to the Goblin city Undermine. World of Warcraft Classic, meanwhile, will head to the Mists of Pandaria expansion in 2025.
