Enjoyed the game Warcraft 3? Here is some good news for the fans out there, Blizzard is currently planning an add-on or expansion pack for the game named Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne.
This is how the cover is supposed to look like and unlike the original game, there will be only one cover instead of the four in Warcraft 3: The Reign of Chaos. Here's another screenshot:
New heroes are to be added for each race though the campaign in the extension would not involve the orcs. There will also be new units for all races and there is the additional option of neutral heroes who can be employed for your cause or your opponent's! The game is currently undergoing beta testing in America and Canada... More details of the game will be revealed later. Seriously speaking, most of the heroes and units have a very Asian look to them :)
The story so far:
The stalwart night elves, led
by the Arch Druid, Furion Stormrage and the Priestess Tyrande Whisperwind,
have vanished back into the shadows of Ashenvale Forest - intent to heal
the ancient lands that were scarred by the Legion’s vile corruption.
The battle-weary orcish Horde,
led by the idealistic Warchief, Thrall, has settled in the harsh, eastern
hills of the Kalimdor Barrens. Finally able to claim a homeland of their
own, the orcs work tirelessly to found and protect their new nation of
Durotar.
The human survivors of
Lordaeron, under the command of the Sorceress, Jaina Proudmoore, have also
settled along the eastern coast of the Barrens. The island citadel of
Theramore was erected to safeguard the last, rag-tag remnants of the
failing human Alliance.
…And Arthas, the newly
crowned King of Lordaeron, has driven the undead Scourge to eradicate the
last vestiges of resistance to his iron rule. His kingdom - the once proud
bastion of human might and nobility - has become a plagued realm of death
and sorrow. Now, driven by haunting visions of the Frozen Throne of
Icecrown, Arthas plans to tighten his grip over the rest of the world.
...Still, one dark soul
still remains at large…
For in some shadowed corner of
the world, the wayward creature known as Illidan Stormrage plots… and
awaits…
any
months have passed since Archimonde and the Burning Legion were defeated
at the Battle of Mount Hyjal…
