Signs of Warcraft RTS News Coming Up on Warcraft Direct

Blizzard Entertainment's Warcraft franchise appears to be hinting at new RTS-related developments, exciting fans who have long awaited fresh content. Upcoming announcements are expected during " Warcraft Direct " on Nov 13th, sparking speculation about a potential revival or addition to Warcraft's real-time strategy legacy, which has largely been inactive since Warcraft III Reforged . With Blizzard suggesting this focus, fans are hopeful for a blend of nostalgic elements and modern RTS gameplay innovations in whatever comes next for the beloved series.

This week, Blizzard updated its press site in celebration of the Warcraft franchise's 30th anniversary and World of Warcraft's 20th anniversary. Alongside these updates, they introduced a new category, “Warcraft (RTS),” represented by the 30th Anniversary logo. This addition hints that Blizzard may soon release new press material related to the Warcraft RTS series, signaling possible developments or future announcements in that genre.

But one of the strongest pillars of these hints is the "leak" that happened two weeks ago . During a brief period of time, the PTR for Warcraft III: Reforged was updated to version 2.0, build 22230. This "leak" all but confirms that Blizzard is working on a Warcraft III Reforged version 2.0 in some capacity.

BlizzTracker Bot Uncovers Private PTR Build Version 2.0 Before It’s Pulled Back

BlizzTracker, the ever-watchful bot that monitors Blizzard’s updates, has once again caught the community’s attention by spotting a new and mysterious PTR (Public Test Realm) build. However, this wasn’t just any build — it was a private version 2.0, briefly uploaded to the PTR but quickly retracted before anyone could gain access or investigate its contents.

The fact that this 2.0 build was deployed to the PTR, a realm typically open for public testing, only to be swiftly hidden away, has sparked intense speculation. While no one had the opportunity to delve into the build, the version number alone suggests that it could represent something major — perhaps a game-changing update, new features, or even a significant expansion.

With Blizzard remaining silent on the matter, the mystery deepens. The brief glimpse of this private PTR build has left fans buzzing with excitement and theories about what’s coming next. Is version 2.0 a massive overhaul, or something even bigger?

As we await more information or another potential leak, HIVE Workshop will be monitoring closely. What do you think this private PTR build could mean? Let us know your thoughts below!
