BlizzCon 2026 unveils new Warcraft 3 campaign after 23 years

gamingSep 12, 202616182

Blizzard opened BlizzCon by releasing Warcraft III: Reforged - Forsaken Kingdom, a surprise new campaign announced after 23 years and available the same day, that pushes Forsaken characters and storylines back into the spotlight. Social posts zero in on Forsaken Paladins and class balance, calling out Horde additions like undead and Darkspear paladin options versus the single new night elf paladin for Alliance. Creators are diving into the Forsaken aesthetic, with at least one artist saying they will be drawing more Forsakens and other players openly hunting developers to demand Forsaken Paladins appear in Retail WoW.

I had to take a little step back from WoW for the last few months as I returned to teaching and research after 2 years on medical leave. I think I might have chosen the best time to return!! #Blizzcon #Blizzcon26

it's gonna be a bit silly that Horde already have extra class combos and get even 2 more (undead/darkspear paladin) while alliance get 1 more (nelf paladin). nice that they're added regardless but unless i'm missing something uhhhhh #blizzcon

I see why they bring more Pala Combos with Eclipse. It makes sense. It just shows, that the lack of Druid Combos never was about "Oppertunity". That was wenn we were in the Emerald Dream. I call it lazy.

#blizzcon A $30 expansion to a universally reviled "remaster" is not the apology tour that Xbox CEO Asha Sharma probably thinks it is

I knew BlizzCon was back this year, but don't think I realized it was this weekend. Just caught up with everything they announced at the opening ceremony and goddamn they went hard. Lot of stuff here. If anything, what grabs your attention the most? www.polygon.com/blizzcon-202...

Starcraft being back is amazing, even if the wait isn't. Diablo V was a nice surprise. The Warcraft 3 expansion was a major surprise. But this? I knew this was coming, just not exactly how it would look-- and it is appearing to be everything I've ever wanted. We will be there day one. #Blizzcon

The TrailerCraft panel right now (and probably the WoW cutscene panel after) is a MUST WATCH for machinima enthusiasts and such. We've never seen them talk about their in-game machinima tools to this extent. You can scroll back to the start on YouTube, too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WC33...

Sombra will receive a rework for Season 5 according to Game Director Aaron Keller. Overwatch socials quickly commented on it, sharing that she will be moved to the Support role. #BlizzCon #Overwatch #Sombra
