World Of Warcraft Adds "The Plunderstorm", A Limited-Time, 60-Player Battle Royale
Dead man may tell no tales, but they still get some booty.
It was just a matter of time before your MMORPG got a battle royale, right?
Update 10.2.6 for World of Warcraft drops today, and with it a limited-time event.
Blizzard just announced Plunderstorm, a high-stakes pirate adventure across the Arathi Highlands.
Lasting for several weeks, this event challenges players to survive against others in 60-person matches that each last 10-15 minutes. To win, they must scavenge for abilities, upgrades, and loot, all while navigating the treacherous terrain and avoiding the encroaching storm.
Participation in the event is open to all that have a subscription (no expansion purchase is required). Even Classic players can join, though the modern World of Warcraft client must be installed.
Once in the game, players can create new characters unique to the event and choose between Solo or Duo modes. Abilities and spells are discovered and added to the Action Bar as players plunder treasure chests and defeat enemies, with opportunities to upgrade these abilities for enhanced effectiveness.
Rewards include cosmetics, pets, titles, and mounts with progression through the reward track. These rewards are obtainable regardless of victory, too.
Check out the notes for more information on Plunderstorm and other changes in this patch.
