Brad Chan, a senior manager on Warcraft working on Warcraft 3: Reforged, is throwing down a gauntlet to players. He and his team have snuck two secret levels into the new campaign released yesterday, and he’s surprised no one’s found them yet.
“We have put two secret bonus levels in that campaign,” he told me at the very end of our interview just minutes ago. “You’re gonna have to do a few things to unlock them. It’s been almost two days now and we haven’t seen anyone post them.”
Chan did not offer any details whatsoever as to what these levels were, how one might unlock them, or what they might entail. They’re just findable somewhere in the Forsaken Kingdom campaign that launched yesterday at the end of Blizzcon’s opening ceremonies, and he is keeping a close eye on who might be the first person to say they found and completed them.
“I would challenge people to play- I really want to see someone say they finished everything first. I’m looking for it. I’m throwing the gauntlet out.”
Now I want to know what they are, too. Are they silly, joke levels like Diablo’s cow level? Are they full of juicy new lore?
I’ll have more from my interview with Chan and game director Ion Hazzikostas shortly, but for now, someone get on this and alleviate the mystery.
