Plunderstorm

Everyone in Plunderstorm is a bad person but you.

The World of Warcraft Plunderstorm is now live, bringing an entirely new playstyle — a battle royale arena — a slew of cosmetic rewards for your retail WoW characters (and two for you Classic players).

It's probably unfair to say Plunderstorm is a ripoff of Fortnite -- unfair to Fortnite, that is.

I'm not sure anyone predicted "Warcraft Battle Royale with spells" when patch 10.2.6 mysteriously appeared as a simple pirate flag on the 2024 road map, but that's pretty much what Plunderstorm is.

WoW patch 10.2.6 was a big secret for months, and as the hype built we've been wondering if whatever Blizzard's been working on could possibly meet player expectations.

While WoW's new Plunderstorm game mode is ostensibly a battle royale, last-one-standing PVP extravaganza, you can actually collect all of the Plunderstorm rewards without killing any other players.

Plunderstorm's Battle Royale action and streamlined UI is a great opportunity to try out World of Warcraft with controller support if you're up to the experiment.

World of Warcraft patch 10.2.6 has arrived, and blown in on an ill wind is its piratical surprise -- the Plunderstorm!

World of Warcraft's new battle royal mode, Plunderstorm is all about the epic loot...

Plunderstorm, Dragonflight patch 10.2.6's 60-player battle royale event, is now live with a new rewards to earn from an event-specific Renown track.
