Tell your own story in the Warcraft universe? This will soon be possible (again) with the upcoming patch.
Warcraft 3: Reforged got off to a rocky start when it was released in 2020, to put it mildly. Blizzard had to listen to a lot from fans of the original with the remake not only because of controversial design decisions, but also because of countless bugs and missing gameplay features.
Almost three years later, the developers still seem to be working on the game and bringing it with the next patch the custom campaignsi.e. self-created campaigns – a feature that was already in the original almost 20 years ago.
Incidentally, it’s not the only game mechanic from the original that was added later! Here you can read more about the previous updates:

Warcraft 3 Reforged gets promised features
What’s in update 1.35?
The patch mainly includes a number of bug fixes and balance changes, but the biggest innovation is the feature of being able to create campaigns yourself. Fans of the original 2002 game will remember, the feature was part of the game back then.
What exactly are Custom Campaigns? You can create and share your own campaigns in the Warcraft universe, as well as download and experience other players’ stories. You can decide for yourself whether the game has the Reforged Art style or whether the campaign should look like it did back then. You can find the exact patch notes with all the details on page 2 of this news.
Almost a year after its release, we took another close look at Reforged – but at that time the rescue attempt was anything but successful:

Fans celebrate the return
Many fans seem to be happy about the feature comeback, writes JediJoe84 under the official announcement:
I’m so happy that Custom Campaigns are returning and that you guys really added a cinematic button. Thanks!
SamuelTyra10, while a little less welcoming, also seems pleased to be back:
It’s about time Custom Campaigns came back.
Ardenaso is not at all interested in the further changes, he only seems to care about the self-created campaigns:
I don’t really care about melee combat, but the (re)implementation of custom campaigns was long overdue.
When will the update come out?
Die public test servers have been live since December 13th, so you can already create your own epic. However, when the official release of update 1.35 will take place is not yet clear. However, we expect the patch to be available by January at the latest, if not even this year.
If the numerous updates since the release still haven’t weighed down the remastered you’ve been wanting, then you might be happy with the following mod:
