At Blizzcon 2018, Blizzard announced that it’s working on a remake for Warcraft 3, called Warcraft III Reforged. And today, we present you two videos that compare the visuals of the cinematic intro and the in-game graphics between the original and the remake versions.
Warcraft 3 Reforged is rebuilt from the ground up, with a thorough visual overhaul, with every character, structure, and environment being recreated to emphasize the depth. Reforged will also come with over four hours of updated in-game cutscenes and rerecorded voice-overs, as well as an upgraded World Editor.
As we can see, the cinematic intro has been improved and it’s looking better than ever, though I was really disappointed with the lack of the “hand reaction” at the end of it. Yes, it was not realistic at all but it was cool (at least in my opinion).
In-game cut-scenes have been severely overhauled and even though the in-game 3D models have been recreated, they look similar to their original versions. Again, there are some small aesthetic changes (for example the remake can feel a bit more cartoon-ish with its richer colours and there are some changes to the terrain textures) but for the most part this upcoming remake looks identical to its original version.
Warcraft 3 Reforged is currently planned for a 2019 release!

Super nice update graphically.
good news guys, rockstar announced previous owners of gta v will get to keep their games. they also confirmed gta v protagonist dies at the end they clarified they meant arhur morgan in rdr2.
Honestly i’m pretty disapointed to tell the truth. The quality between the models and the map/buildings is quite jarring, the models look much better but the map overal is almost the same with some newer textures. Doubt i will buy it again specially since it’s not that cheap in my region (as usually with blizzard titles).
Not bad. Glad they are bringing W3 to a modern platform. Now hopefully W4 after this.
W3 works in modern platforms, just in 2018 the game received like 9-10 official patches, the same in 2017 and previous years
And no, no W4, Blizzard already confirmed (W4 is World of Warcraft anyways)
Looks a little better, but I see Blizzard continues their trend of being the absolute worst at graphics. That looks like something I would expect to have seen in 2007 or so.
Lastly, make it playable without making it mandatory to login to your spy farm, and I’d pick it up.
They gayed-up Arthas pretty badly.
Would be fun to try this but my main anticipation is Age of Empires 4
