As part of the opening ceremony of BlizzCon Online, Blizzard Entertainment has announced a new anthology for video games featuring some of the earlier titles released by the World of Warcraft developer. Blizzard Arcade Collection is a compilation with three titles developed by Blizzard around the early and mid nineties.
Blizzard Arcade Collection include The Lost Vikings, a puzzle platformer that was originally released on SNES in 1993, when the studio became known as Silicon & Synapse. The game has also seen previous ports on other consoles such as the Amiga and Game Boy Advance, and has even been made available on PC as a free download on Battle.net.
The other games available contain another platform called Blackthorne, originally released on the SNES in 1994, as well as Rock n ‘Roll races, a combat racer for vehicles. And just like The Lost Vikings, both titles would move to Blizzard’s digital store window in 2013 and 2014, respectively, as free titles.
Blizzard Arcade Collection is now available on PC, PS4, Switch and Xbox One.
