Blizzard revealed Warcraft Remastered Battle Chest on Thursday, which gathers remasters of real-time strategy classics Warcraft I and II, along with a 2.0 update for Warcraft III: Reforged. The company introduced the collection, which costs $39.99 on Battle.net.
The games have been updated much the same way that Starcraft was in 2017, replacing the original game sprites and maps with more detailed, high-res artwork. According to Battle.net, both Warcraft I and II games have “updated quality of life features for modern-day gaming.” While the third game is supported on Macs, the first two are PC-only.
Warcraft III: Reforged 2.0 appears like the company’s attempt to make up for the widely-panned 2020 remaster, Warcraft III: Reforged, a game that was so hated that the company started offering a no-questions-asked automated refund policy.

Blizzard said that it has upgraded environments and “fully customisable visuals,” along with an option to play with the game’s original graphics at a higher resolution.
If you’re interested in all three games, you can get them by paying $9.99 for Warcraft I: Remastered, $14.99 for Warcraft II: Remastered, and $29.99 for Warcraft III: Reforged.
In addition to the remasters, Blizzard also announced a January 2025 Hearthstone / StarCraft crossover called “Heroes of StarCraft” centred around StarCraft.
Moreover, Blizzard is set to upgrade World Of Warcraft, integrating things, such as a new dungeon to the modern version, and a version of Mists of Pandaria for WoW Classic that resembles the expansion as it was in 2012.
