Hold onto your dragon scales, World of Warcraft players! The game is about to go deep underground in the upcoming major content patch, Embers of Neltharion. The patch will take players on a thrilling adventure beneath the Dragon Isles to the Zaralek Cavern, where they will face off against powerful elemental villains known as the Incarnates. But it's not all danger and doom in the cavern; players will also get to hang out with cute little mole friends and attend snail races during their downtime.
Game director Ion Hazzikostas describes the patch as a convergence of different threads, all focused on the theme of legacy. Players will join forces with the Dragon Aspects to race against the villainous Incarnates to the laboratory. Meanwhile, Dracthyr on both sides of the conflict are eager to investigate the laboratory and discover their origins.
The Zaralek Cavern features three distinct biomes, including sulfur pools, massive crystalline stretches, and natural volcanoes and pools of lava. The cavern was a technical challenge to create, but the game's engineers rose to the occasion, laying the groundwork for underground areas that will likely be explored in future patches and expansions.
In addition to the cavern, the patch will bring new content to the Dragon Isles, including new quest lines concerning the Blue Dragonflight and the titan Tyr. Players will be able to ride dragons through the Isles and seamlessly enter the cavern without dismounting.
