It's the kind of stuff dreams are made of... Especially when it comes to building a classic game from a fellow game's engine.
Via a story from IGN, a team of modders have successfully tried their hand in creating an actual Warcraft game using the Starcraft II engine, recalling the good old days of Real-Time Strategy gaming for the franchise before it ushered in a new age with the MMORPG franchise "World of Warcrft". Entitled "Warcraft: A New Dawn", the game pits classic factions inn The Horde and Alliance against one another, fighting to achieve dominance and supremacy against the other race while maintaining keep and resources to wage battle against each other.
Since playing and experiencing Warcraft III all those years ago, I've been ever been enthralled by its deep lore, races, and content, which continues to expand and linger on in the MMORPG game World Of Warcraft. Truth be told, I hardly touched that game, and only seem to follow up on updates and storylines through dedicated wikis or tales whispered by the dedicated who continue to play day in and day out. Despite every single Human, Dwarf, Orc, Undead, or Elf character there is to know in Azeroth, the only thing that seemed to draw me back was the fate of Lordaeron's fallen prince and champion, Arthas Menethil, who was corrupted to the side of the Scourge and eventually becoming its leader when he merged with Ner'Zhul and transformed into the Lich King. Earlier expansions in WoW didn't fully address what had happened after his ascension in power, but with the release of "WoW": Wrath Of The Lich King", evil made its move after several years, and players could continue the adventure to Northrend, where the story would have them finally confronting the Lich King and everything brought full circle. Now with the game's latest patch, the final fate of Arthas was told, and this YouTube video, which is A SPOILER, should be viewed at your own risk. Enjoy!
