Now that Blizzard Entertainment has officially set the specific release date of “Warcraft 3: Reforged,” more video game fans might consider pre-purchasing the remastered game.

There are only two pre-purchase options for “Warcraft 3: Reforged” with just a $10 price difference. The Spoils of War edition is available at $39.99 and ships with a slew of items that would make playing the remastered game more enjoyable and grant a little advantage on other games from the same developer.

Getting the Spoils of War edition gives players access to “Warcraft 3: Reforged” multiplayer hero skins, including Champion of the Horde Thrall, Daughter of the Seas Proudmoore, Fallen King Arthas, and Emerald Nightmare Cenarius. Those who are also playing “World of Warcraft” would get the Meat Wagon mount upon purchase.

There are also special in-game items included in the purchase for games outside the “Warcraft” universe. Buying the “Warcraft 3: Reforged” Spoils of War edition also gives players the Mal'ganis pet on “Diablo 3,” four “Heroes of the Storm” heroes namely Jaina, Thrall, Anub'arak, and Tyrande as well as the unlocked Third War card back on “Hearthstone.” “StarCraft II” and “StarCraft Remastered” console skins are also included along with four animated sprays and five player icons for “Overwatch.”
