During this year’s BlizzCon event, Blizzard Entertainment announced that they are re-releasing their classic real-time strategy game Warcraft III but with new HD graphics. The game is officially known as Warcraft III: Reforged and will launch at some point in 2019. The game’s updated environments and remodeled characters will bring the franchise in the HD era of gaming. Sadly, the remaster only covers the Reign of Chaos content and not The Frozen Throne expansion.

The world editor tool will be returning so users can create their own mods and content once again. There will also be social features and battle.net integration and functionality so you can create game lobbies.
A playable demo of Warcraft III: Reforged is available at BlizzCon which includes the Culling of Stratholme mission. If you’re looking to pre-order the game, the good news is that pre-orders are available now! There will be a standard edition as well as a Spoils Edition of the game.
Culling of Stratholme Mission
The Spoils Edition unlocks items for other Blizzard games including a Meat Wagon mount in World of Warcraft.
