WoW Forever Principal Designer Explains Why WoW Forever Needs More Elves
IGN • • technology
Key Points:
- World of Warcraft Forever launches on November 4, introducing the new Skyborne elf race to maintain faction balance while adding more elves to the game.
- Blizzard added Skyborne elves because many players prefer playing aesthetically pleasing races over traditional monster-like races such as Orcs or Trolls.
- The team avoided including Blood Elves initially to respect the ongoing story development in the Retail version of WoW, leaving open the possibility of adding Blood Elves in the future.
- Updates for WoW Forever will be released more slowly than the modern game's eight-week cycle, with plans to revisit locations from expansions like Northrend and Pandaria in upcoming content.
