Before World of Warcraft, Warcraft was a series of RTS games. Since Warcraft 3 and World of Warcraft were in development around the same time, there is a great deal of similarity and connection between the setting and the story. For players who wanted to see how Azeroth gets into the state that it is in prior to the events of vanilla World of Warcraft, there is no better way to do so than to play Warcraft 3: Reforged. In addition to the base game, it also includes all the content from The Frozen Throne. If you are curious how long it’ll take to go from start to finish, here is the estimated run time for Warcraft 3: Reforged.
There are spoilers below. Proceed with caution.

How Long to Beat Warcraft 3: Reforged
RTS vary in length, but Warcraft 3: Reforged is certainly one of the longer ones. Depending on what your playstyle is along with what difficulty you chose, you can expect to have Warcraft 3: Reforged take you anywhere from 28 hours to nearly 40 hours or more. Bear in mind that this also includes all the missions that are part of The Frozen Throne.
If you ignore any side objectives during missions and just focus on the story, you can easily beat Warcraft 3: Reforged in 28 hours or less. But if you are a completionist or struggle to beat a few of the more difficult missions, then it will certainly take much longer. It is also important to note that each mission will vary in length. Some of the shorter ones will take you anywhere from 10 to 15 minutes or more to complete. However, there are some missions that are much longer, especially the final mission of the Third War storyline that will take 45 minutes due to the main objective.
There are 61 missions in total in Warcraft 3: Reforged. 37 of those missions are part of the original Third War storyline that was shipped with Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos when it was first released back in July 2002, and they were broken up into five separate campaigns (Human, Orc, etc) that told the whole story.
The remaining 24 missions are part of The Frozen Throne, and are split up into three separate campaigns that more or less continue with where Reign of Chaos left off. Even after you’ve beaten all three of the campaigns for The Frozen Throne, there is a bonus campaign that introduces players to Rexxar and serves as an epilogue for all of Warcraft 3.
