As much as we make so much ado about them, the vast majority of video game remasters are a hit or miss.
For every Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, there are a handful of other attempts at refreshing classic titles that only damaged the legacy of the remastered game. Unfortunately, Warcraft 3: Reforged made it to this list.
After being confirmed at BlizzCon 2018, Blizzard finally released Warcraft 3: Reforged, which updates the graphics and adds several improvements to Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos and its expansion, The Frozen Throne, in 2020. Unfortunately, the decades-long wait to enjoy the classic RTS titles on modern platforms with better aesthetics just wasn't worth it. Things got so bad for the botched remaster that fans flocked to Metacritic to give it one of the lowest scores of all time.
While Blizzard did attempt to fix what was wrong with Warcraft 3: Reforged for a spell, the development team has since gone dark since dropping a patch in April 2021.
Thankfully, the drought is about to end.
