In a surprise twist, World of Warcraft Dragonflight Patch 10.2.6 is bringing an all-new game mode to the longtime MMO. Plunderstorm, a battle royale mode for modern WoW, has been surprise-dropped by Blizzard and is coming to the live servers later today.
Plunderstorm is a 60-player, pirate-themed, battle royale game mode that tasks players with defeating other players or squads, as well as looting and discovering new spells that help you along the journey. Throughout each 10-to-15-minute match, you’ll be able to upgrade your abilities and craft a new loadout during each contest, depending on what you discover in the game. There are no traditional WoW classes associated with Plunderstorm, meaning there’s plenty of room for experimentation.
