Now Playing: Blizzard Arcade Collection Reveal Trailer | BlizzCon 2021
According to Blizzard, each of the three games in the Arcade Collection comes in its original form as well as an additional “definitive” edition that features modern touch-ups. These upgrades vary by title; the definitive edition of Rock N Roll Racing, for instance, adds environmental effects and supports up to four players, while the definitive edition of Blackthorne features an additional area.
On top of that, all of the games boast a handful of modern conveniences, including save states, the ability to rewind gameplay, and filters. You can check out the reveal trailer for the Blizzard Arcade Collection above.
On PC, the Blizzard Arcade Collection will be included in the company’s Celebration Collection item bundles. Those who have already purchased one of the bundles will automatically receive the Arcade Collection at no additional cost. The Celebration Collections also give you access to items for a number of Blizzard’s other games, including World of Warcraft, Overwatch, and Hearthstone.
