Blizzard Arcade Collection, A Walk Through The Genesis of Blizzard, Announced

Relive the days predating even the Alliance and Horde with the Blizzard Arcade Collection, available now as part of the Blizzard 30th Anniversary pack. It comes to PC, Xbox One, PS4 and Nintendo Switch.

Announced at BlizzConline, the Blizzard Arcade Collection games come in both Original Editions and upgraded Definitive Editions. Each version features enhancements such as custom key mapping and the ability to rewind up to 10 seconds.

• Watch Mode – The Original Editions of The Lost Vikings and Blackthorne include watch mode, letting players watch a playthrough of the game and jump in to take control at any point.
• Save Anywhere – With the exception of the Definitive Edition of Rock N Roll Racing, each version of the game includes the ability to save progress anywhere.
• The Museum – A digital museum is included, with an array of bonus materials, such as game art, development assets, unused content, lore, interviews, and more.

Here are some of the unique features added to each of the three historic titles:

The Lost Vikings – The Definitive Edition of The Lost Vikings brings together the best aspects of the different original console versions of the game, combining the superior audio and visual experience of the first release with the extra stages and cutscenes, and support for up to three players in local co-op, that were added in a subsequent version.

Rock N Roll Racing – Up to four players, compete in local multiplayer in the Definitive Edition. It also ups the racetrack count to 384 variations, supports 16:9 resolution, and adds actual recordings of songs from the game’s classic soundtrack—and new songs as well.

Blackthorne – The Definitive Edition of Blackthorne includes a “fog of war” map that uncovers as players explore each level.
