Franchise: warcraft
Warcraft is a video game franchise created by Blizzard Entertainment. The franchise consists of three real-time strategy (RTS) games (Warcraft: Orcs and Humans , Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness , and Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos ) and the incredibly popular MMORPG World of Warcraft . There is also a significant overlap with franchises Hearthstone and Heroes_of_the_Storm with a multitude of characters from Warcraft games featuring in those games.
