December 2nd, 2024 – At GOG, we believe that games should live forever. This means not only preserving them but also ensuring they remain accessible, updated, and enjoyable on modern systems. We're incredibly proud of the work we've done on Warcraft I and Warcraft II, bringing them back to life after decades of unavailability. Through our efforts, we've introduced several new features to both titles, including multiplayer support over LAN and enhanced graphical options like antialiasing and anisotropic filtering.
Warcraft I and Warcraft II are scheduled to be delisted from GOG on December 13th, at the publisher's request.
Together with this announcement, we want to reveal a new feature to our recently announced Preservation Program. Once a game joins the Program, we pledge to maintain its compatibility even if it gets delisted from the store. This means that owners of those titles can still expect a seamless experience and tech support for those titles. This also considers potential changes in Windows OS that may impact games' playability.
If you want to grab the GOG version of Warcraft games while they’re still available on the store, you can do it now with a special discount code:
MakeWarcraftLiveForever
The discount code works on 2 USD, 2 EUR, 1.5 GBP or 8 PLN off, only on the Warcraft I & II Bundle, when entered at the checkout. The code works only for the listed currencies, which – if at a different location – can be easily changed at the bottom of our page. The code is applicable until the day of delisting.
We are grateful for the opportunity to work with Blizzard on these titles. While the delisting is unfortunate, we assure you that every user who already owns these games on GOG will continue to benefit from our commitment and have access to versions that remain compatible with modern systems, preserving their experience for years to come.
We're thankful to every Blizzard employee who contributed to these timeless games and for your ongoing partnership over the years. Game preservation is at the heart of what we do, and we hope to continue collaborating with Blizzard to keep these iconic titles accessible to future generations of gamers.
