Warcraft 2 Tides of Darkness in HD + 3D Remake in Warcraft 3 Reforged

After recently watching the remastered leaked lost Warcraft Adventures game I found myself craving classic Warcraft RTS goodness again after all these years. Which of course got me thinking about how so many great old games have HD fan remakes or mods these days so surely Warcraft 2 has some right? And sure enough it does, as while Blizzard sadly still haven’t remade War2 themselves, the fans have delivered again!

Firstly If you just want the original game and all it’s goodness in HD then yes, thankfully fans have made an HD patch for it that supports modern widescreen resolutions which you can get here! 🙂

But what if you’re after a full 3D remake? Well fear not.. fans were clearly inspired by the Warcraft 3 post credits scene that remade the War2 intro sequence and decided to take things further by adding the full War2 campaigns into War3! They’ve even enhanced the missions to utilize Warcraft 2 era heroes (purists can play without too) so if you’ve always wanted to play as Orgrim Doomhammer, Grom Hellscream, & Gul’dan for the Orcs or Anduin Lothar, Khadgar, & Uther Lightbringer for the humans at the height of their powers then now’s your chance! Warcraft 3 players who felt annoyed by the lack of naval in the main game and the small tease of it in the addon will love this as War2 had tones of naval and it’s all here in the War3 engine!

However Warcraft 3’s early era 3D is certainly showing it’s age now, so what if you want a more modern looking Warcraft 2 remake. Well fear not, fans are working away on overhauling the above Warcraft 2 War3 remake in the new Warcraft 3 Reforged engine and adding even more extra content! Judging by their teaser videos and playable demo things are looking very promising!
