A Warcraft 2 remaster could have simply been leaked forward of a serious celebration for the franchise’s thirtieth anniversary, which is because of happen subsequent week.
As noticed by Redditor Neggy5, a brand new itemizing on monitoring website BlizzTrack, which displays modifications within the backend of the corporate’s Battle.web service, factors to the existence of an inner alpha check for one thing referred to as Warcraft 2: Remastered.
All issues thought of, it is fairly tough to think about that that is something apart from a reworked trendy model of the seminal 1995 RTS, which was initially titled Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness.
The itemizing provides virtually nothing away, as you may think, but it surely does doubtlessly verify the existence of a remaster that could be introduced throughout subsequent week’s celebration.
Based on the Redditor who found the itemizing, an upcoming replace for the controversial Warcraft 3: Reforged was additionally found on the BlizzTrack web site, so it appears that evidently Blizzard’s makes an attempt to redeem that ill-received rework additionally proceed, though the character of stated replace hasn’t been revealed.
It is also price noting that none of this has formally been confirmed; this might effectively simply be an experimental try on Blizzard’s half to undergo choices somewhat than a affirmation that one thing concrete is within the works.
Nonetheless, the timing of this leak appears fairly serendipitous with the Warcraft anniversary stream as a result of air subsequent week, so I would not be shocked if a Warcraft 2 announcement was formally made at that time.
The Warcraft anniversary stream airs a number of months after Blizzard launched World of Warcraft: The Conflict Inside, the tenth main enlargement for the long-running MMORPG, which launched again in August.
It is also arriving after builders on stated MMO shaped Blizzard’s first wall-to-wall union again in July, which primarily means stated union represents all the studio somewhat than a single unit throughout the firm.
