Warcraft 3: Reforged - How Long to Beat

As a seasoned Warcraft veteran who has traversed the treacherous landscapes of Azeroth since the dawn of time (or at least since 1994), I can confidently say that diving into the nostalgic world of Warcraft 3: Reforged is an absolute must for any fan eager to witness the genesis of their beloved MMORPG, World of Warcraft.


Prior to the release of “World of Warcraft”, the “Warcraft” series was a collection of Real-Time Strategy (RTS) games. Notably, both “Warcraft 3” and “World of Warcraft” were being developed concurrently, resulting in numerous links between their settings and narratives. For those interested in understanding Azeroth’s history before the vanilla “World of Warcraft” events, playing “Warcraft 3: Reforged” is an ideal choice. This version not only offers the original game but also all content from “The Frozen Throne”. If you’re wondering how long it might take to complete the game from start to finish, here is the estimated playtime for “Warcraft 3: Reforged”.

There are spoilers below. Proceed with caution.

The duration of RTS games can differ, and it’s undeniable that “Warcraft 3: Reforged” falls into the category of longer ones. Based on your gaming approach and the chosen difficulty level, you might find yourself investing anywhere from approximately 28 hours to over 40 hours or even more in this game. Keep in mind that this total includes all missions associated with “The Frozen Throne” expansion pack as well.

Completing Warcraft 3: Reforged solely by focusing on the main story can be done in 28 hours or less for those who don’t prioritize side objectives. Yet, if you’re a completionist or find some missions challenging, your playtime will likely extend beyond that. Remember that each mission’s duration varies, with some taking as little as 10 to 15 minutes, while others can be quite lengthy. The longest mission is typically the final one in the Third War storyline, which takes approximately 45 minutes to complete due to its primary objective.

In the game Warcraft 3: Reforged, there are a total of 61 missions. Thirty-seven of these missions form part of the original Third War narrative from Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos, which was initially released in July 2002. These missions were divided into five distinct campaigns – Human, Orc, and so on – to narrate the entire storyline.

24 additional missions, known collectively as “The Frozen Throne“, are divided into three distinct campaigns. These stories essentially pick up where “Reign of Chaos” ended. Upon completing all three campaigns for “The Frozen Throne“, a bonus campaign emerges, introducing the character Rexxar and serving as an epilogue to the entire saga of “Warcraft 3“.
