Blizzard has just announced official remasters for the first two Warcraft games. These remasters are included in Warcraft Remastered Battle Chest, which is now available for purchase. So yes, this is a shadow drop that caught pretty much everyone by surprise.
Warcraft Remastered Battle Chest includes Warcraft I: Remastered, Warcraft II: Remastered and Warcraft III: Reforged. Alongside the remasters, Blizzard has also included the original versions of Warcraft: Orcs & Humans and Warcraft II: Battle.net Edition.
It’s also worth noting that Blizzard released a new major update for Warcraft 3: Reforged. Patch 2.0 includes updated Classic HD assets and improved Reforged environment visuals. Moreover, players will be able to customize their army to play with the visuals they prefer.
To celebrate this announcement, the team has also shared a trailer for this collection. This trailer shows some comparison scenes for the first two Warcraft games. It also shows some of the visual improvements that Update 2.0 brings to Warcraft 3: Reforged.
Warcraft Remastered Battle Chest will cost you $39,99. From what I could see, there is no way to purchase the remasters separately. That’s kind of a bummer. [UPDATE: It appears you can purchase them separately, so my bad]. On the other hand, for a package with two remasters (three if you don’t already own Reforged), it’s a fair price.
Finally, it appears that Warcraft Remastered Battle Chest is for now exclusive to Battle.net. So, no Steam release for all our Warcraft fans. It sucks but hey, it is what it is.
Enjoy!

Did they update 3?
reminiscent of good old days…
when gaming was quality
Exactly,now days we just get crap.
Please ban that piece of filth @wccfcucks .
Report that trash.
I saw somewhere that for Warcraft III Reforged, they were under budget and time constraints, toxic corporate influence and such, and apparently now they're freed from most of that somehow…
So it's interesting…
Warcraft + 1400 baud modem = 14hour game.
"Stop touching me!"…
Smooth brain
FINALLY!
I was so tired of using broken launchers and mods to play this properly. Whew!
Eeeer… I hope they didn't mess it up though!
Not too thrilled about the mobile graphics!
I don't give two f*ks.
Gotta love companies who can only survive on their past achievements with remasters upon remasters… and in Blizzards case they even chose to lie us in the face with their marking – WC3 refunded err i mean reforged didn't even had the marketed material like the shown improved cut-scenes… and still don't to my knowledge. They have burned their bridges!
I really like how even after this big 2.0 patch still nobody is playing with "Reforged" or "HD" graphics, because it still has to much problems.
Imagine giving up 75% of your FPS just for slightly upscaled graphics.
Or making it harder for you to assess a battlefield situation or composition.
Also losing the ability to know which unit died, based on it's death sound.
Still some of the interface upgrades are nice.
Seems that there are some competent people on it know, but they still have a long way to go and there is never a reason to buy the reforged edition if you already have the originals.
