The product names are similar enough to choose the wrong one. Open your game library and account purchase history first. If another family member made the purchase, check which account received it before troubleshooting the installation.
Use this comparison to identify missing content. Blizzard’s deep dive describes the new campaign as a two-part structure: the four-mission Last Days of Lordaeron prologue followed by Forsaken Kingdom. Regional prices and promotions can change; compare the final local store contents rather than assuming the most expensive bundle is necessary.
Blizzard’s purchase article and the current Battle.net product terms both list the Warcraft Forever Collection as available through January 11, 2027. Neither states an exact cutoff hour or timezone. Check the local checkout terms before relying on the final day.

Own the Warcraft Forever Collection
Check the included Warcraft III content before buying again.
The sequence below is our installation checklist. Exact launcher labels can vary with app version and region.
Sign into the account that owns the required content and select Warcraft III: Reforged in Battle.net.
Allow the client update to finish before launching. Compare the displayed version with the patch guide if the new campaign is missing.
Open the campaign screen and begin with The Last Days of Lordaeron. Read the opening objectives before changing settings or looking up later story events.
If the campaign remains locked, verify the account and entitlement first. Reinstalling the entire game will not add a missing license.
The current Battle.net product terms state that Forsaken Kingdom voiceover is available in English only and is not localized into other supported languages. That restriction concerns voiceover; it does not say every menu or subtitle is English-only.
Blizzard's public announcement states that an internet connection, Battle.net account and desktop app are required. See the troubleshooting guide before planning to play somewhere without reliable internet.
