Theprologue forWarcraft 3: Re-Reforged, as well as the first half of “The Scourge of Lordaeron,” was released in early 2022, allowing players to experience the introductions of Thrall and Arthas in the early stages ofReign of Chaos. Now, players can experience the rest of Arthas’ fall from grace, beginning at the Culling of Stratholme and ending with his claiming of Frostmourne. With the prologue and first campaign finished, InsaneMonster is a little over a quarter of the way done with the campaigns inWarcraft 3: Reign of Chaos.
