Warcraft 2: Remastered might be on its way as a special version of the game was found on Blizzard’s servers.
Through a Wowhead leak, we learned about an “internal alpha” with new art and a logo, showing a human ship battling rough seas. Back in 1995, Warcraft 2 was cool because it let you fight in the air and on the water.
Blizzard is preparing to party for Warcraft’s 30th birthday on November 13 with a big online show. They’ve hinted at surprises for everyone, especially for those who love the old strategy games. Without a BlizzCon this year, people think this event might include major announcements usually saved for that big fan gathering.
It seems likely that during this celebration, Warcraft 2: Remastered will be unveiled, although Blizzard has kept quiet about it. We’ve seen them revisit old favorites before, like when they polished up StarCraft in 2017 and Diablo 2 in 2021.
The story of Warcraft 3: Reforged is another tale. It was supposed to be a hit but ended up disappointing many, leading Blizzard to offer refunds because of how unhappy players were. People said it wasn’t what they expected, and it showed how even big companies can mess up when they cut corners.
Sometimes, fans just want things to be done right.
Blizzard might be fixing Warcraft 3: Reforged too. A survey last year asked players about a possible new version, and a mysterious update appeared briefly before disappearing again, leaving everyone guessing.
While waiting for official news, some fans aren’t sitting still. They’re updating Warcraft 2 themselves. A project named Warcraft: Chronicles of War is using Warcraft 3: Reforged’s engine to give it a fresh look, and you can try the Horde campaign if you already have Reforged.
To keep fans excited until the anniversary show, Blizzard has added fun stuff to its games, like Warcraft-themed outfits in Diablo 4 and Overwatch 2. World of Warcraft’s latest update is also all about celebrating, with new challenges and special armor sets.
