‘Warcraft III’ Gets a New Test Realm for Future Remaster?
Blizzard has hinted at remastering Warcraft III after they get Starcraft: Remastered out the door, and with Starcraft: Remastered coming out in a couple of days, it now seems that we’re getting yet another hint that Warcraft III may be next.
On Blizzard’s official forums, it was announced that the first official Public Test Realm (PTR) for Warcraft III is now live. The PTR includes balance changes for start locations and the difficulty of creep camps, as well as adjustments to item diversity. Several other improvements, including new textures for map clarity have been added as well. More fixes/improvements, such as matchmaking and latency issues, will be added at a later date.
Of course, this is all just speculation at this point, since Blizzard has been mum on what their plans are for the franchise. The same can also be said for Diablo II, for which fans have also been speculating that it’s also getting a remaster. In the meantime, we have the new Necromancer class to dabble with in Diablo III.

Epic’s Fortnite is heading for another crossover, this time with Universal Orlando and Halloween Horror Nights. The title’s annual Fortnitemares Halloween event will be coming to Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort in a new scare zone, kicking off on August 28.
For those not in the know, Scare zones are themed, open-air areas where guests and actors roam around freely.
This is the first time Fortnite will be featured during the after-hours event, which will run from August 28 until November 1. Tickets and packages are on sale now at the official site.
Per the press release, guests will enter Freaky Fields, a Halloween-inspired living battleground that’s been “overcome with a threatening force.” From there, fans will meet up with the Battle Bus, featuring familiar Fortnitemares characters, including “a few new additions exclusive to Halloween Horror Nights.”
And of course, there will be Fortnitemares merchandise available for fans, including a graphic t-shirt, decal set, and an acrylic collectible piece.
Fortnitemares won’t be the only featured property at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights. Killer Klowns from Outer Space will also be getting its own scare zone. Sinners, Stranger Things, Hellraiser, and Evil Dead Burn will also be part of the event, though they will be relegated to their own specific houses.
And while it’s early yet, gamers can probably expect Fortnitemares to return to Fortnite this October.
