Blizzard has officially launched Warcraft III: Reforged this week, making all the Battle.net servers live and ready for players to join. Now you have a chance to revist over 60 missions worth of battles and strategies while witnessing key moments in Azeroth's history. Including the Burning Legion's invasion to the ascension of the Lich King, learning the origins of Thrall, Jaina Proudmoore, Sylvanas Windrunner, and Illidan Stormrage. All complete with updated graphics, sounds, and mechanics to give you a much more up-to-date feeling. We got a quote and some of the updated features from Blizzard themselves for you here.

"Warcraft III is one of our proudest achievements as a company, and we're honored that so many players around the world still hold it up as a paragon of the RTS genre," said J. Allen Brack, president of Blizzard Entertainment. "With Warcraft III: Reforged, our biggest goal was to modernize the game while retaining everything that players have loved about it, and we hope everyone agrees that we've done it justice."
