For World of Warcraft fans, the recent arrival of the Plunderstorm battle royale mode has injected an exciting new dynamic into the iconic MMORPG.
In this frenetic last-player-standing combat arena, up to 60 players drop into the war-torn Arathi Highlands, fighting to be the final one left amidst the chaos.
Initially launched with just solo and duo queuing options, Plunderstorm has already amassed a dedicated following among WoW players craving this tense, high-stakes PvP experience.
However, the developers at Blizzard recognised many were eager for an additional team-based dimension.
Their answer? The imminent launch of a hotly-anticipated new “Trios” mode for Plunderstorm!
Twice the Mayhem, Triple the Squads
Starting next Tuesday after the weekly server reset, Plunderstorm will expand to allow players to queue up in teams of three to take on 19 other trio squads in each 60-player match.
This means the potential for some utterly wild, unrestrained combat across the huge battlefield.
By joining forces as a well-coordinated trio, players can combine their classes‘ unique spells, abilities, and roles for some devious new strategies.
Whether going all-out offence as three Damage dealers or crafting the ultimate disruption trio with Tanks and Healers, the possibilities for squad synergy are endless.
Of course, with 20 trios of three players each battling it out amid the ruins, there’s also the potential for complete and utter pandemonium.
Getting caught in the crossfire of multiple groups could result in some heroic last stands…or ignominious team wipes!
The news was shared on social site X/Twitter by lead software engineer Orlando Salvatore, who addressed viewers with a video post/tweet.
Meeting the Community’s Call
Blizzard’s decision to add trios to Plunderstorm came directly from monitoring player feedback and sentiment since the mode’s launch last month.
Many appreciated the choice between playing solo or with one friend, but frequently requested a three-player option as well.
By swiftly implementing this community-driven adjustment, Blizzard has not only addressed a popular criticism but also demonstrated its enthusiasm for continuing to build out and expand this experimental new game type based on fans’ interests.
The trios update even arrives hot on the heels of other Plunderstorm-boosting efforts by Blizzard, such as increased reward payouts, a high-stakes $50,000 Creator Royale tournament, and special Twitch viewer incentives.
Clearly, WoW’s developers are going all-in on battle royale as the trend for it continues in the gaming sphere.
