World of Warcraft (WoW) has revealed plans for a new social feature in its upcoming expansion, drawing inspiration from the Dark Souls series. Players will be able to see traces left by friends in dungeons, including advice they gave or ghosts at the spots where they died. This feature adds a new layer of interaction, allowing players to tease friends who fell in certain areas.
The latest expansion, “The War Within,” is set to launch globally on August 27, 2024. Blizzard has released a new cinematic trailer titled “Fate’s Thread” to promote the expansion. The update also includes a new raid called “Manaforge: Omega,” featuring the largest boss in WoW history, the Void Lord Dimensius, who stands an astonishing 1160 meters tall.
In addition to new content, Blizzard is focusing on improving the game’s community reputation and respect. Holly Longdale, Blizzard’s Vice President, emphasized the studio’s commitment to making necessary improvements.
The game has also seen various community events and collaborations, including sponsorships for esports teams and special anniversary editions. Despite some challenges, such as layoffs at Microsoft affecting the Xbox division, WoW continues to thrive with a dedicated player base and ongoing content updates.
Server maintenance is scheduled to ensure stability, with a planned downtime of approximately three hours starting at 5:00 AM on August 2.
