This mod seems to be an exceptionally high-quality offering with a lot of substantial new additions, and it's being created by a dedicated team that has made significant progress already. The lore of Warcraft has grown immeasurably since the release of Warcraft 2, especially after more than a decade of revisions from World of Warcraft, so the team may have its work cut out for it in bringing Warcraft 2 in line with the new canon.īlizzard may have fumbled Warcraft 3: Reforged in every possible way, but it's encouraging to see fans using its framework to construct their own passion project. The modding team is also remodeling all of the iconic units from the original game, as well as adding dynamic weather effects and dual tech-trees for buildings. The story is being partially rewritten and will draw from established lore in the original games, in World of Warcraft, and in the various Warcraft books. One of the goals of the mod is to create a more coherent plot that fits into the overarching lore of the modern Warcraft universe. Both the Human and Orc factions will have their own complete campaigns once again, and the first four missions are already available to download for testing on Hive Workshop. Entitled Warcraft: Chronicles of the Second War, the mod will be a total recreation of Warcraft 2's single-player mode with Warcraft 3 features like side quests, creeps, and other mechanics. Despite all that, though, many buyers have decided to make the best of it.Ī team of modders led by Moonman WC3 has just released an official trailer for its own remake of Warcraft 2 in Warcraft 3: Reforged, as reported by Eurogamer. This disastrous remake was full of problems and quickly became one of the lowest-rated games ever by users. After years of fan demand, Blizzard launched Warcraft 3: Reforged back in January.

Both Warcraft and Warcraft 2 are excellent in their own right, but the pinnacle of the series for many players was Warcraft 3. Much like the original Diablo, the game was largely considered to be abandoned until it was finally restored and made available on GOG just last year, along with the first Warcraft. Warcraft 2 is one of Blizzard's earliest and most-loved games, but it hasn't been directly sold or supported by the company for years.

Blizzard first released Warcraft 2 back in 1995, which became one of the most popular real-time strategy titles ever and was instrumental in introducing new players to the genre. A group of Warcraft 3: Reforged modders are using the game's assets to recreate the classic Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness.
