D&D World of Warcraft designer promises that "this is your chance to explore Azeroth as you never have before"

D&D World of Warcraft isn't trying to be like the MMO.

Alright, so that may sound counterintuitive. After all, the book – which was just announced at Gen Con 2026 – takes us back to Azeroth with all the familiar classes and species you'd expect. But D&D World of Warcraft isn't interested in slavishly recreating the video game. That isn't ever going to work, so principal game designer James Wyatt took a different approach.
