La resurrección de WarCraft III para todo el mundo empieza hoy con el parche 1.29, que ha estado mes y medio en el reino de pruebas y deja al clásico RTS de Blizzard en un estado aceptable para jugarlo en ordenadores modernos gracias al soporte para resoluciones panorámicas.
Además, se han aumentado las salas a 24 jugadores y se han realizado infinidad de cambios en el balanceo que prácticamente no han dejado un solo héroe sin cambios.
Para descargarlo, tenéis que ir a la sección de juegos clásicos en vuestra cuenta de Battle.net. Si os animáis a jugar, tenemos un hilo del retorno de WarCraft III en el que encontraréis a más gente con ganas de volver.
