Warcraft III: Reforged received its first new campaign story in years on September 12, 2026: Forsaken Kingdom, live the same day as the BlizzCon 2026 Opening Ceremony. First-party Blizzard Warcraft What’s Next copy — corroborated by Game Informer — says the campaign revisits the fall of Lordaeron and its transformation into the Undercity, shipping together with the 3.0 update (graphics pass, revamped World Editor, QoL).
Availability language is same-day live for Reforged owners on the Battle.net PC footprint. This filing stays on pcmac only and does not invent console ports, a free giveaway SKU, or a separate standalone Forsaken Kingdom purchase model beyond what Blizzard publishes for Reforged owners.
Context for Warcraft fans juggling the same ceremony: Forever (November 4) and The Last Titan (2027) are separate modern/Classic+ beats. Forsaken Kingdom is the immediate playable RTS campaign drop, useful both as story setup color for year-one Forever chatter and as a long-requested content pulse for Reforged’s quiet years.
Why it matters: “out today” campaign content is rare for WC3 Reforged, and pairing it with a 3.0 graphics/editor stack gives mapmakers and campaign players a concrete reason to relaunch the client on BlizzCon Saturday rather than waiting on November’s Forever street.
Players logging in after the ceremony should also expect the usual Battle.net repair or update prompts that accompany a major Reforged point release on launch day.

What we are not saying: no invented console release, no claim Forsaken Kingdom is a Forever unlock requirement, and no invented mission-by-mission spoilers beyond the published Lordaeron-to-Undercity premise.
Reforged players can treat September 12, 2026 as the live day for Forsaken Kingdom plus 3.0; verify the Battle.net patch is applied before expecting the new campaign entry to appear.
