Blizzard have once again updated the Warcraft III Web Site with a new unit, The Death Knight, which is one of the undead heroes. Here is a description:

Death Knights were once virtuous defenders of Humanity. However, they were corrupted by the subtle machinations of the Lich King and lured to his standard. These former heroes were given untold power and the promise of immortality in exchange for their loyalty. Although they retained their humanity, their twisted souls were bound to the Lich King's will for all time. Bestowed with black, vampiric Runeblades and shadowy steeds, Death Knights now serve as the Scourge's mightiest generals.

Robert Duffy from Id Software has updated his .plan to clear up a bit of confusion initially surrounding the Return to Castle Wolfenstein tools SDK that was released yesterday. Here is a snip:

To clear up a bit of confusion, what we released yesterday was the level editing tools and not the full SDK for Wolfenstein. Everything is there to create both single-player and multi-player maps. Also included is Escape ( from single-player ) and Beach ( from multi-player ) for reference.

The source code will be available soon.
