Blizzard Entertainment officially announced the remastered version of
WarCraft III, titled
Reforged, during BlizzCon 2018's controversial opening ceremony. According to the studio,
WarCraft III: Reforged is a complete reimagining of a real-time strategy classic, as the studio has reportedly reworked every single asset of the game, including every hero, unit, building, and even environment.
Unfortunately, it looks like
Reforged will be the only major strategy project set in the
WarCraft universe (not counting
World of WarCraft for obvious reasons) that’s currently in the works. According to Senior Producer Pete Stilwell, there are no plans to make a full
WarCraft 4 at the moment. “
I mean, I wouldn’t rule anything out,” he said,
“but we don’t have any plans around [WarCraft IV] at this point. Getting [WarCraft III: Reforged] right, I think, is our priority first and foremost.”
The American developer has revealed that there are advanced plans to bring their biggest brands to mobile, so there's a chance we will witness the announcement of
WarCraft: Eternal (co-developed by NetEase) at next year's BlizzCon. In the meantime, remember that Blizzard is currently working on some new "proper" games, so there's always hope that
WarCraft 3 will get a sequel one day.
Warcraft III: Reforged is a stunning reimagining of the revolutionary real-time strategy game that laid the foundation for Azeroth’s most epic stories. Veterans and newcomers alike will experience these pivotal events in Azeroth’s history like never before.
Warcraft III: Reforged is coming in 2019.
