Warcraft III: Reforged was supposed to be a great remaster featuring all sorts of improvements over the original release, such as improved cutscenes, maps and campaigns, but in the end, the game was far from being the title that Blizzard promised, leaving it to dedicated fans to deliver the promises made by the developer.
Warcraft III Re-Reforged aims to fulfill the promises made by Blizzard before releasing the game. In development for quite some time, the project features a series of custom campaigns featuring visuals inspired by the game's announcement trailer, reimagined maps, new secrets, rebalanced difficulty and more. The lore is also getting expanded by adding references from World of Warcraft. The latest version of the project can be downloaded by going here.

Warcraft III: Reforged is now available on PC worldwide. You can learn more about the game by checking out Chris' review, who found the game serviceable despite Blizzard not delivering all that was promised.
Warcraft III: Reforged isn't the game that was promised, but is still a valuable reconstruction of one of the most influential titles in the history of video games. This release is, sadly, riddled with bugs as well as marred by the terrible decisions of Blizzard, particularly that of the false advertising that persists now even after launch. However, despite this, there's little doubting that Warcraft III: Reforged has a compelling story that, even eighteen years on, remains one of the most engaging in the genre. The gameplay holds strong to this day and with the tweaks and upgrades, this is an undeniable diamond in the rough.
