Warcraft: Orcs and Humans & Warcraft 2 Battle.net Edition are now available DRM-free.

In anticipation of the upcoming 25th anniversary of Warcraft, we brought you the real-time strategy classics that started it all, Warcraft: Orcs and Humans and Warcraft II Battle.net Edition, including both the original Tides of Darkness and the Beyond the Dark Portal expansion. Starting today, you can once again explore these universe-defining games as they become available digitally and DRM-free for the first time ever!

The first part of the legendary series plays and feels just like the original from 1994, it’s just updated to run flawlessly on modern operating systems. Warcraft II Battle.net Edition, similarly to the release of first Diablo on GOG.COM, comes in two versions, which you can choose from the launcher. The classic one allows for the authentic experience and a fully functional multiplayer with Blizzard’s Battle.net online gaming service. The updated version comes with a number of fixes to provide full compatibility with modern machines as well as hi-resolution support and upscaling.

mqstout: Does LAN work in Warcraft 2? It's not listed.
It does. We'll correct the description to reflect that, thanks!

Kelefane: Is StarCraft honestly a real possibility?
Classic StarCraft (and Remastered as both are one bundle and what soon will be WarCraft 3 with Reforged) are strictly tied to the Battle.net client and cannot be launched without it. I'm not from BizDev so don't know any details but I believe those titles will be hard to get on GOG. But we can all dream like with Diablo and WarCraft I & II, right? :)

Matewis: Not sure what you mean in the case of classic Starcraft, since I can launch Brood War from my original discs just fine without Battlenet. Perhaps the games can't be patched to their most recent version without Battlenet? But that wouldn't bother me at least.
Probably you haven't patched it to the latest version (1.22.3) which requires Battle.net client as I believe.

wolfsite: Can you comment on other Blizzard games that are available free such as Blackthorne, Rock N Roll Racing, and The Lost Vikings?
Comment on what? They're free to download from https://us.battle.net/account/download/. Besides that I don't know anything else.

kud13: Free version of StarCraft Blizz gave out a year or so ago runs without launching the new Battle.net.

As does the one they gave out with the original launch of the Wings of Liberty.
I thought it updates to the latest version (Remastered basically which is one build with Classic) when connected to Battle.net servers (multiplayer) but it seems I may be wrong on that :)
