Players will revisit the Warcraft III story in Reforged, with
over 60 missions to experience from the eyes of four factions—the
mighty Orcs, the noble Humans, the ancient Night Elves, and the
insidious Undead. Players will witness firsthand key moments in
Azeroth’s history, from the Burning Legion’s invasion to the
ascension of the Lich King, and learn the origins of iconic
Warcraft characters like Thrall, Jaina Proudmoore, Sylvanas
Windrunner, Illidan Stormrage, and others.
“Warcraft III is one of our proudest achievements as a company,
and we’re honored 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 modernize the game while retaining
everything that players have loved about it, and we hope everyone
agrees that we’ve done it justice.”
