After Warcraft 3’s first new campaign in 23 years, let’s normalize releasing new DLC for ancient RTS games

The gaming landscape is experiencing renewed interest in older titles, as seen with expansions for classics like Songs of the Past for The Witcher 3. Cyberpunk 2077 and Baldur's Gate 3 are expected to remain relevant for years, making them candidates for future downloadable content. Quake has added a new episode, and Nightdive is remastering Thief. At BlizzCon 2026, the Warcraft 3 Reforged: Forsaken Kingdom expansion was announced, highlighting nostalgia for RTS games. Microsoft has revitalized the Age of Empires series with updates, while newer titles like Age of Empires 4 have struggled. Relic's Dawn of War: Definitive Edition has sold 750,000 copies, indicating demand for remastered RTS games. The remaster of Command & Conquer and Red Alert in 2020 shows the potential for nostalgia-driven content. Expanding existing titles like Rise of Nations and Supreme Commander could be beneficial, and while reactions to new content may be mixed, the concept has promise. The RTS genre has an opportunity to leverage its history while innovating for the future.

Evoker

Evokers are challenging enemies found in woodland mansions, known for their distinctive shimmering sound that signals the casting of spells. They can summon fangs from the ground and vexes to attack players. Encounters with evokers often involve vindicators, who also attack players. Defeating an evoker rewards players with a totem of undying, which provides a second chance after fatal damage but requires players to hold it in their off-hand, preventing the use of a shield. Additionally, evokers can change the colors of sheep, transforming blue sheep into red ones with a spell.
