'We're still evolving': World of Warcraft's new battle royale is part of Blizzard's plan for 're-envisioning what Warcraft means'

World of Warcraft Plunderstorm - a goblin and an orc with a pirate hat .

In case you haven't been keeping up to date with the latest World of Warcraft news, Plunderstorm is a battle royale mode that has arrived in Blizzard's MMO, except that technically, it's not part of the MMO at all. It's a separate mode, with separate characters, though you'll need a WoW subscription to play it. And according to Warcraft's general manager, John Hight, we might be seeing more limited-time modes in the future.

"This was our first experiment. That's why we're doing it as a limited-time thing," Hight told PC Gamer. "We do have ideas for other things that we'd like to do, similar to this, but with different gameplay. So I'm super excited about it."
