Blizzard have added more content to their Arcade Collection
In a move that is a little surprising, Blizzard have announced an update for the Blizzard Arcade Collection, that adds two new games and a few extra features.
Featuring three classic Blizzard games in one convenient package is nice, but we figured we can do better. That’s why we’re leveling up the Blizzard Arcade Collection with Lost Vikings 2 and RPM Racing! #ReliveTheLegacy with us 👉 https://t.co/4keqyNNwf7 pic.twitter.com/92rNVOQ8Tp

The two games being added as Lost Vikings 2 and RPM Racing, check out a little on each below, straight from Blizzard.
The sequel to The Lost Vikings®, Lost Vikings 2 once again finds our three heroes Erik, Baleog, and Olaf taken far from their home and thrust into a new adventure. Tapping into new abilities and joined by two new allies, the werewolf Fang and the dragon Scorch, on their quest to find their way back home, our Viking heroes must overcome challenging puzzles that put a fresh spin on the original game’s design.
Not a sequel, but a prequel, RPM Racing is a time capsule preserving the seed that would eventually bloom into Rock N Roll Racing®. The basics are all there: isometric perspective, different cars to choose from, the ability to make modular upgrades to your vehicle, career progress save functionality, and plenty of vehicular mayhem. Check out RPM Racing to get a look at one of the very first games produced by Blizzard.
That is not all, as the update now gives you a whole new look at the development of their classic titles, as the Museum now includes a Design Documents gallery. Check it out to learn more about how these games were translated from initial concepts to finished products.
They have also added a new Streamer Mode for Rock N Roll Racing in the Definitive Edition and 4-player local multiplayer that lets you stream your gameplay with MIDI versions of the songs while still preserving the game’s rocking sound.
