Like the fact that you cannot go hog wild with animations means that you have to actually make it look as high fidelity as possible while at the same time adhering to some of those original time constraints.' We want to allow for players to continue to coalesce together.

Producer Rob Bridenbecker: 'The version of Warcraft 3 players have have for the past 16 years, that needs to continue to be able to be played with this new version. That's our first mission, to make sure that you guys give us a thumbs up when it ships.'īlizzard also showed off the new hero models, talked about making changes to maps, and how Reforged would coexist with the original within the same client. But in so doing, we need to make sure that you guys who are in this room, that core audience that's never left this game and love it to death, and don't want to see us change it so drastically that you don't recognize it anymore.

Lead designer Matt Morris: 'One of the things we want to do with our campaign is level it up to what people know from World of Warcraft.
