Blizzard revealed Forsaken Kingdom at BlizzCon 2026. The DLC adds a new campaign that explores Sylvanas’s early actions, plus gameplay, graphics, and editor upgrades for Warcraft III: Reforged.
Forsaken Kingdom is a new official campaign expansion for Warcraft III: Reforged, announced at BlizzCon 2026 and available now on PC via Battle.net.
The expansion centers on Sylvanas’s early war with the Scarlet Crusade, the Forsaken founding the Undercity, and the rise of Naxxramas.
New content includes a prologue storyline, more than 30 hours of gameplay, a Forsaken Paladin hero unit, a definitive graphics mode, and improvements to the world editor.
Blizzard announced Forsaken Kingdom during the BlizzCon 2026 opening ceremony. It is an expansion for Warcraft III: Reforged and is available immediately on PC through Battle.net.
The expansion provides a brand-new campaign that fills narrative space between Warcraft III's original storyline and events that later appear in World of Warcraft. Its specific narrative beats include Sylvanas's early campaigns against the Scarlet Crusade, the Forsaken helping to establish the Undercity, and material covering the rise of Naxxramas.
Beyond the campaign, Blizzard is shipping additional content and technical upgrades for Reforged: a prologue storyline, over 30 hours of new gameplay content, a new definitive edition graphics mode, a new Forsaken Paladin hero unit, enhanced game features, and improvements to the world editor.
Warcraft III hasn't received a new expansion since 2003's The Frozen Throne. Forsaken Kingdom is the first official campaign-sized DLC in more than two decades, delivered to the modern Reforged edition rather than the original 2002/2003 release.
The release fits a recent pattern of older, established games getting substantial post-launch DLC years after their original runs. Other recent examples mentioned alongside Warcraft III include The Witcher 3's Songs of the Past and Age of Empires III's The Baltic Powers.
Platform and availability: Forsaken Kingdom is available on PC via Battle.net at launch.
Playtime and scope: Blizzard cites over 30 hours of new gameplay across the expansion and prologue.
Gameplay and editor changes: The release adds a definitive graphics mode for Reforged, a new Forsaken Paladin hero, enhanced features for the base game, and improvements to the world editor that modders and mapmakers can use.
Players who enjoyed Warcraft III's classic RTS gameplay and those interested in Warcraft lore will find new narrative material tied to major franchise figures. Modders and community map creators should pay attention to the world editor improvements.
The announcement was part of a larger BlizzCon 2026 slate of reveals across Blizzard franchises, which included other game updates and new content for Diablo, Overwatch, Heroes of the Storm, and World of Warcraft. Forsaken Kingdom's launch arrives alongside those broader company announcements.
