GOG will be delisting the classic games Warcraft 1 and Warcraft 2 on December 13, 2024, at Blizzard's request, but assures players that those who own these titles will still receive ongoing compatibility support as part of their new preservation program. This program aims to keep older games up to date for modern systems, and GOG emphasizes their dedication to maintaining playability even after delisting. Players are encouraged to purchase these games before they are removed to ensure continued support and seamless access.

What will happen to my GOG version of Warcraft 1 and 2 after they are delisted?

If you already own Warcraft 1 and 2 on GOG, you will still receive compatibility support and updates as part of GOG's preservation program, ensuring that the games remain playable on current and future PC systems.

Warcraft 1 and Warcraft 2 are pioneering titles in the real-time strategy genre, originally released in the mid-90s. They laid the foundation for future games in the franchise, which has since grown to be a staple in both gaming culture and esports. Blizzard recently celebrated the 30th anniversary of the series, highlighting its impact and legacy in the gaming industry.
