I mean.anybody could tell that it wasn't launched in a good state. In the end, the botched development and release of Warcraft III: Reforged still at least brought something about for Blizzard fans around the world: a clear vision regarding Diablo II: Resurrected:
#Warcraft 3 remake update#
What followed after the release of Blizzard's remake were crushing reviews, waves of pre-order cancellations, and a publicity disaster.īlizzard vowed to update their game with regular patches and content that had been promised with the launch of the game, but almost one and a half years later, Reforged is still missing key features - most likely because Blizzard's "Classic Games" team, which had been in charge of developing Warcraft III: Reforged, has been dismantled in 2020. "We took pre-orders when we knew the game wasn't ready yet," they said, adding later that the company needed to “resist the urge to ship an unfinished product because of financial pressure.” "Senior voices in the department warned leadership about the impending disaster of Warcraft on several occasions over the last year or so, but were ignored." "Leadership seemed totally out of touch with the velocity and scope of the project until extremely late in development,” the team said in the postmortem.
