Warcraft 3 Reforged Leak Hints at Release Date

A recent leak has caused quite a stir among fans of Blizzard's iconic real-time strategy series: Warcraft III: Reforged may be launching sooner than expected.

According to insider information that surfaced online earlier today, the long-awaited remaster could enter its closed beta phase as early as next month. This would mean players won't have much longer to wait before they can get their hands on a polished version of one of gaming's most beloved titles once again.

But things might even be moving faster than initially thought: some sources are now speculating that Blizzard may indeed decide to skip the closed beta altogether and release Warcraft III: Reforged in its final form during this year's BlizzCon event, which takes place from November 1st-2nd at the Anaheim Convention Center.

While there has been no official confirmation from Activision-Blizzard regarding these reports so far, they do align with previous statements made by Blizzard representatives who suggested that a 'late 2019' launch window was still very much on the table for Warcraft III: Reforged.

For those unfamiliar with this classic RTS gem (and trust us - you should be!), Warcraft III takes place in the dark fantasy world of Azeroth, where players must guide their respective factions through an epic campaign filled with turn-based strategy combat and real-time action sequences galore. Think Age of Empires meets Starcraft, but set within Blizzard's signature lore-rich universe.

As always when dealing with rumors like these though - especially ones that could potentially rock the very foundations upon earth as we know it (okay maybe not THAT badly), fans are advised to take all such news with a healthy dose of salt until officially confirmed by Activision-Blizzard themselves.
