BBI was the principal dev of the full remasters for Warcraft 1 & 2 (upgraded graphics, UI, and gameplay).
After a successful launch and fan reception - including the highest CCU the games have ever seen! - Blackbird has continued to support the game via a dedicated liveops team.
BBI updated all assets for modern resolutions while taking extreme care to keep the soul of the original aesthetic intact; providing a new coat of paint for a historic and groundbreaking franchise.
The BBI team was able to introduce key QoL features standard to modern RTS titles. The team’s decade-long expertise in the genre through Minecraft Legends, Homeworld 3 etc. was put in the forefront to make the remasters competitive in the current market.
With rebuilt networking code, Warcraft 2 could be easily updated to support multiplayer matchmaking for the first time in decades.
Working closely with Blizzard's Battle.Net teams, BBI’s dedicated live-ops team continues to deliver patches based on player feedback into 2026.
