The remastered re-release of Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and its excellent expansion The Frozen Throne is finally here. Since its announcement way back at BlizzCon in 2018 we've been itching to dive back into this classic RTS. Which now, thanks to the wonders of modern technology the re-titled Warcraft III: Reforged features an impressive visual overhaul.

And it's fully compatible with the original release so that means full multiplayer and mod support.

Warcraft III: Reforged Features

Complete Graphical Overhaul: Warcraft III: Reforged brings the original game into the modern era with fully overhauled characters, structures, environments, animations, and graphical effects.

Multiplayer Between Versions: Players will be able to do battle with anyone who plays Warcraft III, regardless of whether they’re playing the original or Reforged.

Higher-Fidelity Audio: Warcraft III’s audio has been remastered and improved for Reforged, including the game’s original voice-over recordings.

Rebuilt World Editor: Reforged features an all-new World Editor designed to empower the game’s longstanding creator community to reach new heights, with hundreds of new triggers, LUA scripting support, new tools for importing models, and more enhancements planned for the future.

Full Battle.net Implementation: Players will enjoy the full suite of Battle.net features to bolster their Warcraft III experience, including text and voice chat, groups, and seamless installation and patching.

Also, the greenest grass that ever greened - in HD.

“Warcraft III is one of our proudest achievements as a company, and we’re honoured that so many players around the world still hold it up as a paragon of the RTS genre,” said J. Allen Brack, president of Blizzard Entertainment. “With Warcraft III: Reforged, our biggest goal was to modernise the game while retaining everything that players have loved about it, and we hope everyone agrees that we’ve done it justice.”

Warcraft III: Reforged is available now for $44.95 AUD via the Blizzard Shop. There's also a Spoils of War Edition for $59.95 AUD which comes with hero skins for Arthas, Cenarius, Jaina, and Thrall, in addition to other in-game bonuses for Blizzard titles like a Meat Wagon mount for World of Warcraft, a cardback for Hearthstone, and a Mal’ganis pet for Diablo III.
