Blizzard smed tidligere på året jobansøgninger op, hvor det var angående at skulle arbejde på nogle af deres ældre spilprojekter. Sidenhen er der gået rygter, om at både Diablo II, Warcraft I samt Warcraft II ville blive genskabt, men det afviser Blizzard's Frank Pearce.
Pearce var til stede under Blizzcon's 25 års jubilæums-panel, og sagde, at holdet faktisk har fået Warcraft: Orcs & Humans til at virke på nyere maskiner, men måtte erkende, at spillet ikke var særligt underholdende i nutidens standard:
"We are fortunate enough to have all of the original source code and assets to everything we've done in the past. "But actually, it turns out, it's really hard to access that stuff, unlock it, and figure out how it all works. Because we're old, we've forgotten."
"We had some dedicated folks that were passionate about the idea, dig up the Warcraft 1 assets and code. They got it working and they got it running in a window. And I played it. Warcraft: Orcs & Humans was awesome for its time. I promise you, in today's world, by today's standards, it's just not that fun any more."
"We have limited resources with everything that we choose to do. We would much rather work on amazing content for World of Warcraft for you guys, or for Overwatch, or evaluating what a future project pipeline might be and devote our time to that, rather than going back and digging up those fossils."
Selvom Diablo III: Reaper of Souls kommer til at indeholde det oprindelig Diablo i form af en sæson-Rift, så skal vi altså ikke forvente at gense de klassiske Warcraft-spil foreløbigt, hvis nogensinde.
