Pirates make everything better, so if Blizzard’s announcement that World of Warcraft now has a standalone battle royale mode isn’t enough to get your tootsies twitching with excitement, then how about this: it’s called Plunderstorm and is all about the piratical booty.
Plunderstorm arrives alongside World of Warcraft’s 10.2.6 content update as a limited-time event accessible for the “next several weeks”. It sees up to 60 players – either playing solo or as a Duo with a friend – scouring the Arathi Highlands to locate abilities, upgrades, and loot in a bid to be the last pirate standing each 10-15 minute match.
“Discover lootable spells, abilities, and upgrades as you plunder treasure chests and defeat enemies,” Blizzard explains in its announcement post. “Upon picking up, spells and abilities are automatically added to your Action Bar, with two slots dedicated to offensive skills and two for utilities such as leaps, speed boosts, and crowd-control. Some abilities are more action-based and require good positioning and player targeting.”
