Warcraft 3: Reforged has reforged a 2020 release date

Remember Warcraft 3: Reforged? It was meant to launch in 2019, but with less than two weeks of the year still to go, well, it was looking unlikely.

On the upside, Blizzard has now provided the game with a firm release date and it isn't long to wait at all: 29th January 2020.

This is, of course, the big reimagining of Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos and expansion The Frozen Throne. Expect shiny new versions of the old characters, campaigns and maps, plus a world editor with mod support.

It is available to pre-order now from the Blizzard store priced £25, or in a snazzier Spoils of War edition for £35 which comes with additional hero skins and bonuses for other Blizzard games. More on that via Blizzard's blog.
