Das Blizzard seine Spiele fast ewig unterstützt zeigt sich wieder einmal am Beispiel von Warcraft 3, der neue PTR Patch bringt sogar noch Balancing Änderungen.
Für die Fangemeinde ist dies natürlich ein weiterer Hinweis auf ein mögliches Warcraft 3: Remastered, ähnlich wie das orginale Starcraft. Denn einer Entwickler Aussage zu Folge veröffentlicht Blizzard nur eine überarbeitete Version, wenn das Spiel wirklich gefixt wurde und sich ein einem fast perfekten Zustand befindet. Dementsprechend könnten die momentanen Updates, den Weg dorthin bereiten und die Warcraft 3 Engine für moderne Rechner und Betriebssysteme aufarbeiten, sowie überfällige Balance Änderungen vorzunehmen.
Im Anschluss findet ihr die Testserver Patchnotizen für Warcraft 3:
