Blizzard expands on Lich King's PvP warfare

Jan 3, 2008

Upcoming World of Wacraft expansion, Wrath of the Lich King, will featur𝔉e a large area dedicated to PvP, says ﷺBlizzard.

A "c🍃ool part of Northrend is new big PvP zone. It's about the size of Westfall, and will 🌺be all-PvP - in no way, shape or form will we support PvE players in it," developer Jeff Kaplan tells UK magazine .

He continues, "It'll be opti🐈onal, but it'll be completely non-instanced, have multiple objectives, siege weapons and destructible buildings."

Kaplan goes on to promi൲se that WoW adventurers will have their sock🀅s blown off when they first enter the new continent of Northrend.

"We absolutely need to make the e✅ntry to Northrend epic," he says. "...we originally had the entry to Burning Crusade's Dark Portal as a bunch of cohorts waling around, an🌌d people reacted badly. This really hammered home the fact that we needed to raise expectations on entering the expansions."

World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King is expected to launch this year, though Blizzard has yet to con🉐firm a date.

The ful🅘l interview appears in issue #190 of PC Zone, on UK newsstands today.
