It also includes the option to customize between Reforged and Classic HD assets so fans can mix and match as they please. Elsewhere, Warcraft III: Reforged 2.0 includes improvements to the lighting, the addition of XP and leveling to ranked play, and music from Warcraft I and II.
The user interface also features various updates.The 2.0 update represents another step forward for Blizzard's ill-fated remaster, which is considered one of the worst moments in the publisher's long history.
The original release was panned for poor graphics, missing features, and broken promises, leaving it with a poor reputation from which it has never really recovered.
Nevertheless, Blizzard has continued to work on Warcraft III: Reforged in the background, adding in ranked play and other requested features.Warcraft III: Reforged 2.0's launch was part of Wednesday's Warcraft 30th Anniversary stream, which also included the release of remasters for Warcraft I and II, updates to World of Warcraft, and lots more.
