Blizzard will not release 2002’s Warcraft III’s updated version, Warcraft III: Reforged this year…

Warcraft III: Reforged was announced last November, and the original plans were to release it in 2019. On the Blizzard Shop, we see that the release date doesn’t have 2019 in its year – instead, it is going to be available from January 28, 2020, at 3 PM Pacific. (If you live in Central Europe, that’s already January 29, 12 AM.)

„Though we’ve been working hard to get Reforged in your hands before the end of the year, as we started approaching the finish line, we felt we’d need a little extra development time for finishing touches. As always, our goal is to honour the high standards you hold us to,” Blizzard Entertainment said in a news post.

„The founding of Orgrimmar. The fall of Lordaeron. The reign of the Burning Legion. The rise of the Lich King. Veterans and newcomers alike will experience these pivotal events in Azeroth’s history like never before in Warcraft III: Reforged, from the points of view of four distinct factions: the mighty Orcs, the noble Humans, the ancient Night Elves, and the insidious Undead Scourge.

For Warcraft III: Reforged, every character, structure, and environment has been recreated to emphasize the depth, dimension, and personality of this rough-hewn world. The Warcraft III saga, which spans more than 60 campaign missions, enjoys an epic retelling in Reforged, with over four hours of updated in-game cutscenes and rerecorded voice-overs that breathe new life into the earliest renditions of key characters like Sylvanas Windrunner and Arthas Menethil,” we can read on the Blizzard Shop regarding the game.

So this game is also going to be one of the big titles to kick the next year off with – we already had Resident Evil 2 Remake in 2019 to set a precedent.
