Forsaken Kingdom Fills a Long-Standing Warcraft III Gap, Adding 30 Hours of Story Between Arthas and World of Warcraft
Key Points:
- Blizzard has launched Warcraft III Reforged: Forsaken Kingdom, the first new campaign in over 20 years, exploring the untold events between Warcraft III and World of Warcraft, focusing on the rise of the Forsaken and the creation of The Undercity.
- The expansion offers around 30 hours of gameplay and one hour of cinematics, featuring a prologue where players experience Lordaeron's fall from the perspective of the city guard, followed by a main campaign with a soft open world RPG structure and hero progression systems.
- Forsaken Kingdom introduces new characters such as Garrick Bandarion and Anya, expands on Forsaken culture and identity, and ties directly into the upcoming World of Warcraft: Forever storyline.
- Alongside the campaign, Blizzard released patch 3.0 with an optional Definitive Edition graphics mode that enhances visual fidelity while preserving Warcraft III’s classic look, adds the Forsaken Paladin as the first new multiplayer tavern hero in over two decades, and expands the World Editor with new cinematic and lighting tools.
- The Forsaken Kingdom expansion is available for $29.99 standalone, $49.99 with Reforged, and as part of the $79.99 Warcraft Forever Collection, which also includes new World of Warcraft: Forever digital content; a Classic Client is also offered for players seeking the original Warcraft III experience.
