Press release:
Greetings, champions of Azeroth!

We’re excited to announce that we’ve partnered with Blizzard Entertainment to rerelease the real-time strategy classics that started it all—”Warcraft: Orcs & Humans” and “Warcraft II Battle.net Edition“, including both the original Tides of Darkness and the Beyond the Dark Portal expansion.

Starting today, players can once again explore these universe-defining games as they become available digitally and DRM-free for the first time ever, only on GOG.COM!

Warcraft: Orcs & Humans takes players back to the original battle for Azeroth, challenging players to pick a side and raise an army of human or orcs capable of bringing ruin to their enemies.

Warcraft II and its expansion take the battle to the high seas with a host of naval units and introduces more of the races that make up the Alliance and the Horde, bolstering the human and orc forces with elves, trolls, dwarves, and more.

The version of Warcraft: Orcs & Humans available on GOG.COM has been fully optimized to run out-of-the-box on today’s operating systems.

Meanwhile, players who purchase Warcraft II through GOG.COM will get two versions: one that’s been updated with support for high-resolution displays and multiplayer via LAN connections; and a period-appropriate classic version that includes the original SVGA graphics, and matchmaking through the classic version of the Battle.net online-gaming service.

Ready to get back where it all started? Warcraft: Orcs & Humans for Windows and Mac and Warcraft II Battle.net Edition for Windows are available now on GOG.COM for $5.99 and $9.99 respectively! You can also purchase the Warcraft Bundle including both games for $14.99.

We (TGG) are a part of the GOG family, and we may receive a profit cut out of your purchase via the GOG links in this post.
