Warcraft I and Warcraft II, two of the most influential real-time strategy games of all time, are now available to enjoy as part of a new remastering effort that delivers vivid, all-new visuals, modernized controls, and more to the original 1994 and 1995 games, Blizzard Entertainment has announced. Patch 2.0, a new patch for Warcraft III: Reforged that, among other things, introduces uprezzed classic Warcraft III assets to HD to the 2020 remaster, was also announced today as part of Warcraft’s 30th Anniversary celebrations. Blizzard’s latest promos, including those for a Warcraft Battle Chest, Mist of Pandora Classic, and WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Edition, can be found below.

… we’ve released Patch 2.0— now available for all Warcraft III: Reforged players. The patch overhauls environments, lighting, and the user interface. It also introduces uprezzed classic Warcraft III assets to HD, allowing players to choose and customize their graphical experience. Mix and match assets as you wish. There are also new quality-of-life improvements such as in-game hotkey customization, updated ladder, and much much more.

Beyond the update for Warcraft III: Reforged, we’re happy to announce the release of fully remastered versions of Warcraft I and Warcraft II, taking you beyond Orcs and Humans, the Tides of Darkness, and the Dark Portal for the first time, again. Players will be able to switch between the original graphics and the remastered versions in real time. We’ve also added more modern controls to Warcraft I, such as right-click move, band box select, and faster game speed.
