Blizzard has announced another remake at BlizzCon 2018. Warcraft 3 is being remade and will be called “Reforged”.
The opening ceremony of BlizzCon 2018 is over and Blizzard has revealed some new announcements. In addition to the release date announcement for World of Warcraft: Classic, there was also a surprise for all strategy fans: Warcraft 3 is getting a remake and Blizzard calls it “reforged”.
What is Warcraft “Reforged”? Unlike the “Remastered” version of StarCraft, which only had the graphics slightly updated, it seems that significantly more work has gone into Warcraft 3: Reforged. All 3D models have been renewed and equipped with fresh animations. Even though the graphics may not match the current state of technology, it is certainly more visually appealing than the original.
The nearly 4 hours of cutscenes (including the high-resolution cinematics) will also be completely renewed. We can look forward to new versions of the popular videos and accompany Arthas once again on his journey.
How much does Warcraft 3: Reforged cost? The price for Warcraft 3: Reforged has also been confirmed. The standard version will cost $30, while the “Spoils of War” edition will cost $40. The prices in euros are identical, making it a bit more expensive when converted. If you want, you can preorder Warcraft 3: Reforged now on the Blizzard site.
When will Warcraft 3: Reforged be released? There is still no specific release date for Warcraft 3: Reforged. Only the year 2019 is mentioned. The fine print also confirms that the game will be released by “no later than December 31, 2019”.
Goodie for World of Warcraft: The “Spoils of War” version of Warcraft 3 also comes with numerous goodies for other Blizzard games. Most of these have not yet been revealed. Players of World of Warcraft can look forward to a new mount: a meat wagon. This even has a usable catapult, from which “small creatures should take cover”. If you get bored in WoW soon, small creatures should stay hidden…
Are you excited for the remake of Warcraft 3? Or would you have preferred a completely new Warcraft?
