Warcraft 1 And 2 Remastered Make Up A New Warcraft Battle Chest, Available Today
Blizzard's classic RTS titles Warcraft: Orcs and Humans and Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness are both getting the "remastered" treatment to celebrate the franchise's 30th anniversary, and they'll be available separately or together alongside Warcraft 3: Reforged today in a new Warcraft Battle Chest.
The news comes as part of Blizzard's Warcraft 30th Anniversary Direct, where the developer kicked things off by paying homage to the games that started the franchise and diving into what's changed, and what's stayed the same, in Warcraft 1 and 2 Remastered. While players will have the option of playing each game with their original visuals (something that can be toggled on and off in real time) the remastered versions also include new, hand-drawn visuals that help make each game's units more sharp and defined while still retaining their classic feel.
Warcraft 1's controls have been updated to support modern-RTS staples like right click to move, box unit selection, and a faster game speed. Both games have received various UI and UX adjustments as well, like unit health bars, tooltips, increased unit selection, and a mission select. Warcraft 2 will still support multiplayer and all legacy custom maps will be fully compatible with this new version of the game.
