To tell the story of how we got here, we need to drive the clock back to 2018. This is when Blizzard launches a major update for Warcraft 3
Another title dropped later that year with the announcement of Warsters 3: Renewal at a BlizzCon fans meeting. More than just remembering the first game, Blizzard described it as a "complete re-analysis" of the real-time Strategy classic.
"Let's push it," Pleteard's Petee Blindzard told Polgon in an interview at the time. “Let's make it equal StarCraft. Let's add more to the editor, because we already have the power. And like a good Blizzard game, it's easy to read, hard to understand, [but let's] make it very deep. ”
