Campaign order, story setup and playtime

Follow the introduction into the main campaign

The official store describes the new campaign as beginning in The Last Days of Lordaeron and exploring the origins of the Undercity. The patch notes list that introduction and Forsaken Kingdom separately.

For a first run, follow the campaign screen’s sequence. This guide does not claim that completing every old Warcraft III campaign is a mechanical unlock requirement. The sources reviewed do not establish such a requirement.

Treat 30+ hours as a planning estimate

The number comes from Blizzard’s gameplay trailer description. It is a publisher estimate for the new content, not a Kingy playthrough measurement or a guarantee for one difficulty.

For your first session, aim to learn the interface and finish a natural stopping point. When you return, record the current objective and the next decision in a short note. A two-hour evening does not need a fixed mission quota.

Use My progress for preparation milestones. Those checkboxes stay in your browser and do not read or modify your game save.

Use the right kind of help

Use the controls and graphics guides while learning the client. For story context, the heroes guide explains the historical background and keeps the larger reveal behind a disclosure.

Mission-by-mission routes are still being researched. We have not verified a complete chapter list, optional objective map, reward catalogue or difficulty-specific walkthrough. A guide for an older community campaign with a similar name may send you to different objectives.
