The video-game publisher Blizzard will release new versions of several old Warcraft strategy games to commemorate the fantasy franchise’s 30th anniversary.
Blizzard, a division of Microsoft Corp., will release remastered versions of Warcraft: Orcs & Humans (1994) and Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness (1995), both of which will receive graphical overhauls as well as “some modernizations and quality-of-life changes,” the company said Wednesday.
