BlizzCon 2021 is now firmly behind us, and one of the most obvious MIAs was Warcraft III: Reforged. The ill-fated remaster of an RTS legend, Reforged had a comically bad launch. Less than optimal communication created unrealistic expectations, and when the highly anticipated strategy game released without many of the staple multiplayer features that the classic version enjoyed, the internet reacted poorly.
That’s not to mention the visuals were not in-line with what many were expecting. To make matters worse, Blizzard removed the classic version of Warcraft III from sale, and from being accessible to the playerbase. It’s perhaps not surprising then that the RTS game is sitting on a 0.6/10 Metacritic score with over 30,000 ratings. As BlizzCon 2021 came and went, a lot was said about Diablo 2’s remaster and the lessons that have been learned from Reforged’s disastrous launch, but what about Warcraft 3 itself? What’s going on with it?
Based one what we’ve managed to glean so far, not much. In an interview with VentureBeat on February 22 Blizzard president J. Allen Brack confirmed that a team was working on an update for Warcraft 3: Reforged, stating “there’s going to be more updates… We have a team that’s continuing to work on Reforged.”
