Azeroth Reborn is a fully playable Warcraft 3 remake in the StarCraft 2 engine

Blizzard's Warcraft 3 received its own remaster or remake from the studio in the form of Warcraft 3: Reforged, so you might wonder why a Warcraft 3 campaign remake in StarCraft 2 is worth checking out. Well, as StarCraft 2 came out after Warcraft 3, it features a more advanced engine for 3D RTS action, lending itself to improving some of Warcraft 3's gameplay.

Azeroth Reborn is an impressive fan-made mod for StarCraft 2 that lets you play through the iconic Warcraft 3 campaign, including stuff from the critically acclaimed expansion Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne. Azeroth Reborn benefits from StarCraft 2's advanced engine to improve pathfinding for units, increase the overall speed of the game, and introduce quality-of-life features like the ability to toggle upkeep and track build times.

According to the lead modder, who is working full-time on the project, bringing Warcraft 3's campaigns to StarCraft 2 has taken "a lot of time and effort." Be sure to watch the gameplay trailer above and check out the link below to check it out for yourself.

Azeroth Reborn is available on GitHub, which includes a custom campaign launcher that allows you to download, update, and play the remastered Warcraft 3 campaigns in StarCraft 2. The campaigns also feature improved terrain detail, thanks to the updated StarCraft 2 engine, with the inclusion of cut voice lines that were not included in the retail version.

The trailer showcases gameplay from the Curse of the Blood Elves campaign from The Frozen Throne, and you can see how the improved speed and pathfinding of StarCraft 2 benefit Warcraft 3's action.
