The new WoW mode’s release date or official name has yet to be announced. Specific details also remain under wraps. What we do know is that this mysterious mode will take place in Darkshire, which is a haunted town in Duskwood.
Following a similar development approach to Plunderstorm, the new game mode will be built within the WoW client, but will function independently from the main game. That said, Blizzard made one thing clear early on: this won’t be another Battle Royale.
Instead, the team is heading in a completely different direction, both in gameplay and tone. Blizzard aims to focus on dark, eerie storytelling, describing the experience as similar to a “scary story.”
This surprise announcement reminds us of a fan-made mode called WoW Killer. Created by Aboni, it’s a unique twist on Among Us, set within World of Warcraft. In this mode, players must uncover the hidden Worgen impostors. After all, both modes are related to Darkshire.
It’s unclear if Blizzard is heading in a similar direction, so we’ll have to wait and see what they have in store. What do you think the new WoW mode could be? Share your theories with us in the comments below!
