Blizzard brings the classics Warcraft 3 and Diablo 2 up to date. We tell you what this is supposed to bring.
The Scourge marches on newer systems
On March 24th, Blizzard released two new patches. Not for current titles like Diablo 3 or World of Warcraft, but for games that are already more than fourteen years old. The strategy classic “Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos” and the mother of all hack & slashes “Diablo 2” have each received a small update.
Although the patches contain no gameplay innovations, they are supposed to enable the games to run smoothly on newer operating systems (Windows 7 and up) without issues or additional software, such as compatibility tools. Those who feel the urge to once again fight alongside Arthas, Jaina, Illidan, and Kael’thas can finally dust off the old favorites.
Mein-MMO says: Even without much imagination, it is clear that Blizzard has made the two game classics suitable for new computers to give a little more strength to the upcoming film. Especially the “veterans” from back in the day are likely to feel nostalgic after watching “Warcraft: The Beginning” and want to dive back into the strategy worlds or face off against the Lord of Darkness once more.
But even newcomers are likely to find the update interesting, who after the film may want to know how “World of Warcraft” was actually formed and where all the notable characters come from. Much of this can be experienced in the strategy classic.
