Siren Isle is a large outdoor endgame experience set on a stormy island. The Kul Tirans occupied it during the Fourth War to mine Azerite, but those miners mysteriously disappeared. A mysterious pulse of light draws attention to the island, so players should pack their bags and delve into the new possibilities that Siren Isle offers. Players will be rewarded with a new currency: Flame Blessed Iron, which can be exchanged for goodies such as mounts, pets, equipment, and new transmog options. One of those mounts is Thrayir, an electric storm crow.
Blizzard also said that Plunderstorm, the pirate-themed battle royale mode, will make a triumphant return sometime in early 2025. Plunderstorm threw out many of the rules of World of Warcraft out the window and encourage players to queue up for short-term matches and experiment with different classes from match to match. Plunderstorm has both new and returning rewards for those who missed the first round of the Battle Royale.
Timewalking Dungeons returns and players can earn the adorable Timely Buzzbee Skyriding mount. In a little surprise, humans and Kul Tirans can adapt their ears to have the elven points of the Arathi we met in Hallowfell, a settlement built by a fragment of the greater Arathi Empire, around a giant crystal beneath the surface of Azeroth.
Finally, a new quest line is coming to the game. Dalaran, the wizarding city of the Kirin Tor, was destroyed by the evil Xal’atath, who blew it from the sky. The Kirin Tor “must face their past mistakes and decide the future course of their people.” This questline is accompanied by a story prologue for 11.1, the first major patch and story development for The war within.
