There might be a remastered version of Warcraft 2 on the horizon, as hinted at by an internal alpha appearing.

Said alpha has popped up on blizztrack.com, a website that tracks all of the available builds of Blizzard games. According to the site, something called “Warcraft II: Remastered Internal Alpha” has appeared on Blizzard’s Battle.net service.

Sadly, there’s very little information that can be gleaned from the listing, at least from what I can tell.

Blizzard will be hosting Warcraft Direct this weekend, which would surely be the opportune time to announce a remaster of Warcraft 2.

If true, let’s just hope this remaster goes better than Warcraft 3: Reforged as pretty much everyone was disappointed with it.

With that said, the very same blizztrack.com site noted last month that a patch 2.0 was being tested for Warcraft 3: Reforged, sparking some hope that a big overhaul might be coming. I’d say it would be rather odd for the game to get a big update so long after launching, but perhaps it could be something to do with Warcraft 2? This is just speculation, but perhaps Blizzard wants to make Warcraft 2 and 3 feel more cohesive and thus are redoing some of Reforged to make it fit in better.
