Blizzard has unveiled surprise remasters of Warcraft I and Warcraft II, along with an updated Warcraft Battle Chest. These remasters are part of Blizzard’s celebration of Warcraft’s 30th anniversary, launching unexpectedly during their anniversary livestream. Both Warcraft I and Warcraft II have received visual updates, featuring hand-drawn artwork that preserves the original game style while introducing sharper, more detailed graphics.
The remasters boast quality-of-life improvements designed to make these iconic real-time strategy titles more accessible to modern players. In an exciting twist, players can switch between the original and remastered graphics in real-time, providing a seamless experience for those nostalgic for the pixelated classics or those eager to experience them in their updated form. Additionally, Warcraft III: Reforged also receives an extensive overhaul with its 2.0 update, introducing enhanced environments, lighting, and UI improvements.
For fans eager to dive in, the remasters are available for individual purchase: Warcraft I: Remastered is priced at $9.99, Warcraft II: Remastered at $14.99, and Warcraft III: Reforged at $29.99. However, Blizzard is offering a value-packed option with the Warcraft Remastered Battle Chest, which bundles all three games together for $39.99. The collection includes bonus content like Warcraft Orcs & Humans and exclusive skins for World of Warcraft.
Blizzard’s remaster strategy mirrors the success of Starcraft Remastered in 2017, and this release reinforces their commitment to preserving these classics for both long-time fans and new players. Whether you’re revisiting Warcraft or discovering it for the first time, there’s plenty to explore in this revamped collection.
