Blizzard just released Warcraft Remastered Battle Chest for PC and Macs, which collects remasters of realtime strategy classics Warcraft I and II, as well as a 2.0 update for Warcraft III: Reforged. The company announced the collection, which is $39.99 on Battle.net, during today’s Warcraft 30th Anniversary Direct livestream.

The first two games have been updated much the same way that Starcraft was in 2017, replacing the original game sprites and maps with more detailed, high-res artwork. Both games also have “updated quality of life features for modern day gaming,” according to the Battle.net store page for the collection.

Warcraft III: Reforged 2.0 looks like the company’s attempt to make up for the widely-panned 2020 remaster, Warcraft III: Reforged, a game that was so hated that the company started offering a no-questions-asked automated refund policy. Blizzard says it has updated environments and “fully customizable visuals,” as well as an option to play with the game’s original graphics at a higher resolution.

In addition to the remasters, Blizzard also announced a January 2025 Hearthstone / StarCraft crossover called “Heroes of StarCraft” centered around StarCraft. (It’s no new StarCraft game, but at least Blizzard mentioned the series, I suppose). Blizzard is also updating World Of Warcraft, adding things like a new dungeon to the modern version, and a version of Mists of Pandaria for WoW Classic that resembles the expansion as it was in 2012. And Warcraft Rumble will launch in beta on PC on December 10th.

I am pleased to announce that the Great Elon Musk, working in conjunction with American Patriot Vivek Ramaswamy, will lead the Department of Government Efficiency (“DOGE”). Together, these two wonderful Americans will pave the way for my Administration to dismantle Government Bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure Federal Agencies – Essential to the “Save America” Movement. “This will send shockwaves through the system, and anyone involved in Government waste, which is a lot of people!” stated Mr. Musk.

It will become, potentially, “The Manhattan Project” of our time. Republican politicians have dreamed about the objectives of “DOGE” for a very long time. To drive this kind of drastic change, the Department of Government Efficiency will provide advice and guidance from outside of Government, and will partner with the White House and Office of Management & Budget to drive large scale structural reform, and create an entrepreneurial approach to Government never seen before.

I look forward to Elon and Vivek making changes to the Federal Bureaucracy with an eye on efficiency and, at the same time, making life better for all Americans. Importantly, we will drive out the massive waste and fraud which exists throughout our annual $6.5 Trillion Dollars of Government Spending. They will work together to liberate our Economy, and make the U.S. Government accountable to “WE THE PEOPLE.” Their work will conclude no later than July 4, 2026 – A smaller Government, with more efficiency and less bureaucracy, will be the perfect gift to America on the 250th Anniversary of The Declaration of Independence. I am confident they will succeed!

Key considerations about unsending an iMessage

• You only have two minutes after sending a message to unsend it.
• The recipient may still see a notification that you unsent a message.
• This feature only works for iMessages (blue bubbles), not SMS texts (green bubbles).

Limitations you should know

While these features are incredibly useful, they come with some limitations.

• Both you and the recipient must be using iOS 16 or later for full functionality.
• If the recipient is on an older version or using a non-Apple device, your edits or unsends may not work as intended.
