With the release of patch 10.2.6, Blizzard Entertainment introduced World of Warcraft Plunderstorm, a new event they had been teasing players about on the 2024 WoW roadmap. Many players didn’t expect a full-on battle royale experience in World of Warcraft, but that’s exactly what we got.

This pirate showdown takes place in the Arathi Highlands and is available to both Retail and Classic players. It introduces spells and features that aren’t normally found in regular World of Warcraft, including a spectator mode for when you die, which players have been asking for.

If you missed the announcement for this game mode, don’t worry. This guide will explain everything you need to know about World of Warcraft: Plunderstorm, including how WoW Classic players can give it a try.

The Plunderstorm game mode in World of Warcraft is all about fast-paced PvP action with a pirate theme. You start fresh each time and quickly gain new spells and abilities as you go.

In Plunderstorm, there are no set classes or builds like in regular WoW. Instead, you have to adapt on the fly using whatever you find in the game. This makes every match different and exciting, even if you’re not usually into PvP.

Plunderstorm takes place on its special map, the Arathi Highlands. You can get new spells and abilities by defeating creatures and looting chests scattered around the map.

Each Plunderstorm match can have up to 60 players, and they’re over pretty quickly, usually lasting between 10 to 15 minutes. The goal is to be the last party or person standing at the end of the match to win the game!

How to Play World of Warcraft Plunderstorm?

After the 10.2.6 update, which came out on March 19, 2024, you’ll notice a new “Plunderstorm” icon when you log into the main menu of World of Warcraft. Clicking on this icon will take you to the battle royale mode.

In Plunderstorm, unlike regular WoW, you can team up with friends before starting the game. There’s a new invite tab in the menu that lets you invite your friends to join you in the action. As of now, you can choose to play solo or with a friend in duo mode. Blizzard hasn’t mentioned anything about playing with larger groups yet.
