World of Warcraft Sails into Battle Royale with New PvEvP Mode Plunderstorm
-
Plunderstorm drops 60 pirates onto Arathi Highlands to fight monsters, loot chests, level up, get abilities, and battle each other as a storm closes in.
-
It's a separate mode with progression to unlock pirate rewards like outfits, titles, a parrot mount, and a crab pet.
-
You have no set class, with abilities determined by what you loot in the arena, offering novel builds.
-
Matches start out PvE focused, before pushing more into PvP late-game as players get builds together and are pushed closer by the storm.
-
After initial weeks-long run, future of mode depends on player feedback. Blizzard open to making it permanent if popular.
