Blizzard has published the stream links for the Warcraft Direct stream. The stream link includes a description previewing some of the topics being covered by the stream, including an Update for Warcraft3 Reforged.
- 30 Years of Warcraft RTS: Hear from the team working on the games that started it all as they look to bring some exciting new updates to Warcraft III Reforged and more.
Warcraft Direct will be streamed on the Warcraft YouTube Channel, 19.00 CET
This marks the first official confirmation. And apparently we’ll get to hear from whatever development team has taken over.
okay, we can officially ride the “hopefully any hype we have isn’t wasted” train!
what a surprise :Kappa:
Wow that is incredible, so the 2.0 version is real, lets see what we can get from this.
Maybe better reforged graphics like the 2018 blizzcon, with a separated client from classic and/or HD graphics too for the classic game.
Server maintenance is scheduled for just before Warcraft Direct.
I really want to know if Blizzard now has internal developers doing RTS work or whether it’s being handled by another Microsoft studio like World’s Edge or even outsourced. It will say a lot about what we can expect for both Warcraft and StarCraft support going forward.
Hype is alive blizzard, please don’t kill it… and surprise us.
There’s hope!
A 10 hour maintenance has me intrigued as well.
I haven’t been following any WC3 news, other than the issues on MacOS, but I am looking forward for any attention given to WC3 Reforged.
Probably not going to happen, but I would love a reforged version of WC1 and WC2. I remember playing both in the 90’s on my Mac, and would love to see a return of them with updated graphics, cutscenes, and new content for each.
There’s talk going around about something to do with WC2.
You can see the builds on the Blizzard CDN for a few days now. Check Blizztrack. https://blizztrack.com/
Yeah supposedly there’s going to be a Warcraft II remaster.
I still consider warII a classic. I spent many hours playing the DOS version over Microsoft’s Internet Gaming Zone.
But admittedly War3 was a huge improvement in almost every way (minus the near total removal of sea combat)
Yep! Been checking that out since someone noticed 2.0 on WC3 before the Mac clients broke.
Noticed the WC2 a couple days ago. It will be interesting to see if it’s similar to GoG’s version or something completely different.
It’s pretty obvious at this point that whatever they’re cooking up now is the reason why it’s taken so long for the mac version to be fixed.
You can absolutely correct me if I’m mistaken but isn’t the gog version just War2BNE? Which was made available on the battle.net store relatively recently.
Also, yeah it’s pretty plain as day on the bnet tracker lol
“Warcraft II Remaster Internal Alpha” lol
Unfortunately, they aren’t the same, and a bunch of people who bought when it showed up on the launcher were not happy to say the least.
The Battlenet version is unupdated, essentially the version it was left at when development stopped.
Without a handfull of community made patches, it has a bunch of different issues. It could fail to launch, crash easily, black screens, Battlenet UI has a load of graphical glitches, when updating it for the first time it could fail repeatedly.
It’s the same for the Battlenet versions of D1 and WC1, and it was the same reaction from the people who bought those. I spent weeks answering threads with links to community made patches and/or links to the refund system for all three.
All this is assuming nothing has changed since January.
Well, interesting.
1 and 2.
Finally updates to the broken versions they had been selling this past year?
“Hand painted artwork” for the remastered modes. Nice.
EDIT: PC only it seems.
Is it working on Mac yet
