RTS classics Warcraft and Warcraft 2 surprise drop remasters with "brand new, hand-drawn visuals" that you can swap in and out in real time
Warcraft Remastered♛ Battle Chest is available today

Blizza🅠rd has 🧔surprise-dropped remasters for Warcraft and Warcraft 2.
We had some inclinati𒐪on that 1995's Warcraft 2 was getting a remaster when it leaked last week, but the reveal of Warcraft 1: Remasteไred is a total surprise. Blizzard revealed both titles in a new trailer, showing off stark visual improvements from the original games. "These remasters feature bran🌜d new, hand-drawn visuals that capture the original art style from each game," said Warcraft manager Brad Chan during .
It's hard to say how the visual improvements will hold up in actual gameplay, but judging from the footage shown in the trailer, they look solid. I'll always have a fondness for the original look, which has such endearing grit, and for my money the n🎃ew look is decidedly more cartoony, but I suspect newcomers may prefer the updated version.
Here's the good news. Chan also confirmed you'll be able to swap out the original graphics with the remastered versions, and vice-versa, at a🐭ny point "in real time."
Here are some quic🅰k side-by-sides of the old, pixel-y versions next to their 2024 counterparts for compar♓ison:




The remasters are up for sale individually today, with Warcraft 1 Remastered going for $9.99 and Warcraft 2 Remastered costing $14.99. They're also available as part of the $39.99 Warcraft Remastered Battle Chest, which includes both remasters as well as Warcraft 3: Reforged, which just got 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:its massive 2.0 update aimed at giv🉐ing the maligned four-year-old remaster a new lease on life.
