Blizzard confirms the release of a remastered version of Warcraft 1 & 2

THE Warcraft 30th Anniversary Direct is currently underway and as part of this, the developer has confirmed the release of remastered versions of two of their most beloved RTS titles.

Warcraft 1 and 2 release immediately on the Battle.net store, featuring completely new hand-drawn visuals. Players will be able to switch between the OG skins and the new set entirely on the fly.

The changes don’t stop there. Warcraft: Orcs & Humans has updated control schemes that bring it more in line with modern RTS games. Right click on moving and selecting the box, plus faster game speed.

There are also UI and UX improvements for both games, with increased unit selection much needed.

Warcraft 2 also features full multiplayer functionality, and every legacy custom map is fully compatible and playable.

The Warcraft Battle Chest also returns, allowing players to purchase Warcraft 1, 2, and 3 in one convenient package.

As previously mentioned, eager fans don’t have to wait to get their hands on the new games, with both available in stores now.
