Blizzard has been dropping hints that we may expect announcements related to Warcraft III Reforged during the upcoming Warcraft Direct. Let's look at these hints and see what we can expect.
November Trading Post Rewards
First previewed on Blizzard's reveal of Patch 11.0.5, the November trading post will feature racial crests of the four Warcraft III races: Human, Orc, Undead, and Night Elf. On its own, it doesn't mean anything, but there's more.

Mount Changes from Trading Post to Promotion
During Patch 10.2.7, we datamined a couple of new Horde Nightsaber and Alliance Wolf mounts. These mounts originally featured the
Trading Post
tag. However, during the final 11.0.5 PTR build, Blizzard changed two of these mounts to have
Promotion
as their source. This could mean they will be rewarded in some... cross-promotion with a different game.
30th Anniversary Mounts
Together with the announcement of the Warcraft Direct stream, Blizzard also released the
30th Anniversary Bundle
, which features eight mounts, four for TWW and four for Cataclysm. These mounts are, once again, based on the four Warcraft III races. Another hint lies in their name, as they are all called
CHAOS
-forged, a likely reference to
Reign of Chaos
, Warcraft III's title.

Warcraft III PTR "Leak"
One of the strongest pillars of these hints is the
"leak" that happened last week
. During a brief period of time, the PTR for Warcraft III: Reforged was updated to version 2.0, build 22230:
Around 16 hours later, this change to the internal Warcraft 3 build, also called “w3d”, was reverted back to Patch 1.36:
This "leak" all but confirms that Blizzard is working on a Warcraft III Reforged version 2.0 in some capacity.
Blizzard Press Site
Blizzard did updates to their
Press website
this week, to support the 30th Anniversary of the Warcraft Franchise and the 20th Anniversary of World of Warcraft. Together with this update, Blizzard also created a new game category called "Warcraft (RTS)", which currently uses the 30th Anniversary logo as its representation. This indicates that Blizzard has plans to release new press material about Warcraft RTS in the near future.
Warcraft 30th Anniversary Key Art
The final hint that we have comes from the
reveal of the 30th Anniversary Key Art
.
This key art features many iconic characters of the Warcraft universe, including Illidan, Lich King, Medivh, Jaina, Thrall, and Tyrande. While you can argue that they are present in many different places throughout the Warcraft franchises, it is interesting that Thrall and Tyrande are pictured mounted—just like their Warcraft III Models.
