World of Warcraft: Classic TBC e Chains of Domination tra i papabili annunci di stanotte
Chains of Domination – Mancano ormai pochissime ore prima dell’inizio della Blizzconline, ed una parte delle probabili novità sono già da questa notte argomento di discussione all’interno dei più popolari social della community.
Secondo dei leak dell’ultimissima ora infatti, questa sera gli sviluppatori di Blizzard ci parleranno del nuovo Chains of Domination per la versione retail di World of Warcraft (ovvero per Shadowlands), e di The Burning Crusade per WoW Classic.
Secondo quanto riportato da MMO-Champion infatti, è stata la stessa Blizzard a rilasciare del materiale PR davvero molto interessante, interamente dedicato ai due argomenti menzionati sopra.
Nel press-kit di Chains of Domination possiamo leggere che “Il traditore Sire Denathrius è stato sconfitto. . .ma il potere delle Fauci cresce ancora. In Chains of Domination, il primo importante aggiornamento in arrivo per World of Warcraft: Shadowlands, i giocatori esploreranno nuove profondità del dominio senza speranza del Jailer, cercando di comprendere la vera natura dei suoi piani maligni“. Sembra che con la nuova patch dovremo fronteggiare un nuovo “crudele strumento di disperazione arruolato da Sylvanas Windrunner“, un qualcosa che nella descrizione viene descritto come capace di “instillare terrore nei cuori degli eroi di Azeroth come nessuna creatura delle Terre dell’Ombra“.
Con Chains of Domination avremo quindi anche un nuovo raid, chiamato “Sanctum of Domination“, in cui dovremo affrontare 10 nuovi boss, tra cui anche uno scontro in cui saremo faccia a faccia con la regina Banshee…
Vi sarà poi anche un nuovo dungeon chiamato Tazavesh, nonché la stagione 2 di Shadowlands…ma scopriremo nuovi e più interessanti dettagl isolamente questa sera, quando verrà trasmesso il What’s Next dedicato a WoW.
The traitorous Sire Denathrius has been defeated . . . but the power of the Maw still grows. In Chains of Domination™, the upcoming first major content update for World of Warcraft®: Shadowlands, players will delve into new depths of the Jailer’s hopeless domain, seeking to understand the true nature of his malignant plans. Backed by the renewed might of the four Covenants, the champions of the Horde and the Alliance will take the fight for the Shadowlands to the seat of the Jailer’s power. But the Banished One has a terrible new champion in his service—a cruel instrument of despair conscripted by Sylvanas Windrunner, capable of instilling dread into the hearts of Azeroth’s heroes like no creature of the Shadowlands.
- Discover the Mysteries of Korthia – The Jailer is searching for the key to fulfill his twisted designs—and he has pulled a fragment of a long-lost domain into the Maw itself to find it. Seek answers in ancient Korthia, the City of Secrets, and engage in new quests and outdoor activities.
- The Covenants Strike Back – With the strength of the kyrian, night fae, necrolords, and venthyr restored, embark on a campaign to unite the four covenants—and together, launch an assault against the Jailer in his home territory.
- Raid the Sanctum of Domination – Brave treacherous, unexplored reaches of Torghast in a new 10-boss raid: the Sanctum of Domination. Encounter the true Eye of the Jailer, turn the tide against the Tarragrue, and come face-to-face with the Banshee Queen herself in a fateful confrontation.
- New Mega-dungeon – Tazavesh, the Veiled Market—Gather your party and discover exotic wares and strange creatures in an eight-boss Mythic mega-dungeon set in a bazaar of the mysterious Brokers, and culminating in a high-stakes heist to steal powerful artifacts from Azeroth.
- And More – Gear up for Shadowlands Raid, Dungeon, and PvP Season 2, with a seasonal Mythic Keystone dungeon affix themed around the Jailer’s power; don new Covenant cosmetic armor sets that any class can wear; expand the powers of your Soulbinds and Conduits; add new mounts and pets to your menagerie; Unlock flying in the Covenants’ four domains; and much more.
Il punto su WoW Classic TBC
Per quanto riguarda WoW Classic invece, secondo i leak scovati da Mmo-Champion il 2021 vedrà l’arrivo (o meglio il ritorno) della prima storica espansione del gioco, ovvero la “mitologica” The Burning Crusade.
Questo vorrà dire che presto potremo creare un personaggio Draenei o Blood Elf anche su WoW Classic, usare mount volanti, ed andare in esplorazione nelle pericolose Outland, da Zangarmash fino al celebre Black Temple.
Un’interessante novità riguarda poi anche la questione avanzamento dei personaggi, con i giocatori che potranno scegliere in totale autonomia di far accedere i propri pg alle Outland, o anche di lasciarli al livello attuale sui server “Classic Era“, dove tutto resterà immutato a Pre-TBC.
Ecco il contenuto del post dei PR:
Journey through the Dark Portal once again in World of Warcraft®: Burning Crusade Classic™! Originally released in January 2007, The Burning Crusade summoned the heroes of Azeroth to the shattered and fel-scarred realm of Outland to stop an invasion of the demonic Burning Legion. In 2021, Blizzard Entertainment’s recreation of the first World of Warcraft expansion will give players from around the world a chance to return to Outland as it once was to relive an era of timeless adventure—or experience what awaits beyond the Dark Portal for the first time.
- Rediscover the Broken World of Outland – Flee the fel reavers who roam Hellfire Peninsula, dive deep beneath the swamps of Zangarmarsh to confront what lurks below, and clash with the demonic agents of the Burning Legion in the shadow of the Black Temple.
- Join the Fight as a Blood Elf or Draenei – The ranks of the Horde and the Alliance grow! Fight for the Horde as the blood elves, seeking a new source of the arcane power that once sustained them, or join the Alliance as the draenei, exiles from Outland in search of a new home.
- The Saga Unfolds Over Time – Content from the original game will roll out in phases, at a cadence paced for the WoW Classic community. Prepare for the opening of the Black Temple, gear up to confront the gods of Zul’Aman, and gather your allies to face the fury of the Sunwell.
- Burning Crusade Features Reborn – Prove your prowess in the Arena PvP system, enhance your gear with the Jewelcrafting profession, take to the skies over Outland on flying mounts, choose whether to seek the aid of the Aldor or the Scryers of Shattrath, and much more.
- Choose Your Era – Prior to Burning Crusade Classic’s release, WoW Classic players can decide whether to advance each of their characters to the Burning Crusade era with the rest of their realm, or to continue playing the original WoW Classic content on new Classic Era servers.
- Included With Existing World of Warcraft Subscriptions – As with WoW Classic, anyone who subscribes to World of Warcraft can also play Burning Crusade Classic at no additional cost, giving players the freedom to enjoy multiple eras of Azeroth at their own pace.
