Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne announced
By Michael Flaminio, Insanely Great Mac
January 24th 2003
Blizzard announced Mac/PC expansion pack for Warcraft III
Looking for more Warcraft III? Last summer Blizzard released the Reign of Chaos
expansion pack, and this week announced that a new pack is slated for this summer. The
Frozen Throne will be released for both Mac OS and Windows computers. Warcraft appears
to be alive and well, as Blizzard notes that over 2 million units have to date been
sold.
"We are very pleased by the success of Warcraft III," said Mike Morhaime, Blizzard
Entertainment president and co-founder. "Our plans for the expansion set include
increasing the strategic gameplay possibilities and depth of the Warcraft universe by
introducing a wide array of new Heroes and units, specifically designed to enhance
each race."
Blizzard describes the story of the expansion as:
"In the single-player campaign, players revisit the war-torn world of Azeroth. Several
months have passed since Archimonde and the Burning Legion were defeated at the battle
of Mount Hyjal, yet a new threat has arisen throughout the land.
"The evil Lich King Ner'zhul has been imprisoned inside the Icecrown glacier, deep
within the arctic continent of Northrend. Although the former Orc Shaman lacks
physical form, his soul lives on, forever seeking a means to escape his icy prison. As
the saga continues, it is revealed that both the Night Elf renegade, Illidan, and the
traitorous Death Knight, Arthas, seek the Icecrown glacier and the mysterious powers
found inside. While it is uncertain as to what is being sought inside the icy tomb,
players must traverse uncharted lands and battle treacherous new enemies to uncover
the schemes of these nefarious beings, and save all of Azeroth from the forces of
darkness.
New features in the The Frozen Throne include one new Hero per race, new units each
with new abilities, new maps, an advanced world editor and new multiplayer options
such as new maps and game types.
Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne is slated for release in summer 2003 for $35. For more
