Warcraft Remastered Battle Chest has been unlocked
During the Warcraft 30th anniversary direct, Blizzard revealed both Warcraft Remastered and Warcraft II Remastered and the insane news is that both games are out now. But that is not all, Warcraft III Reforged also got a big update and the three games can be obtained together in the Warcraft Remastered Battle Chest. Check out the trailer for them below.
Perhaps the best news, for those who already purchased Warcraft: Orcs & Humans, Warcraft: II Battle.net edition, or Warcraft III: Reforged from the Battle.net shop, the bundle will be available at a discount.
For those who are old enough to remember the original Warcraft, the game that kicked off 30 years of adventures, the remastered version should bring back some memories. Here are the features included within this updated release:
