Your character in World of Warcraft will soon receive more customization options. We have already seen some details and insights.
At BlizzCon 2019, numerous details about the future of World of Warcraft were released, although they have somewhat taken a backseat to the cinematic of Shadowlands. The developers want to give players much more customization so that everyone can play a character of their choice. Some new options have already been revealed.
Which races will have customizations? The customizations mainly affect the “original races”, the original 8 species, but Draenei and Blood Elves will also receive some new features. It is still unclear whether this will also apply to Goblins, Worgen, and Pandaren.
What new customizations are available?
In the presentations regarding World of Warcraft, some of the new customizations were introduced. Some of these are still only early concepts, but the following changes are nearly confirmed:
Humans with new faces: Humans have had a rather monotonous look in World of Warcraft. The variety of faces and skin colors is supposed to increase, allowing players to make their character look a bit more like themselves if they wish. Therefore, faces will also be implemented that have a more Asian or African American appearance.
Undead without exposed bones: Those who play an Undead have so far had to deal with bones protruding from elbows, shoulders, and legs. But perhaps one does not want to play such a decayed corpse? In that case, players will soon have the option to simply hide the bones and have flesh and skin there – almost like living humans.
Trolls with new colors: New skin colors for trolls have been introduced, allowing players to essentially play a troll from different tribes, such as a Farraki. Additionally, there are numerous skin paint options to create more variation among the individual trolls.
Dwarf tattoos like the Wildhammers: For dwarves, there are a variety of paints and tattoos. Players have long wished to be able to play not only Dark Iron dwarves but also a Wildhammer dwarf. At least aesthetically, this will be possible in the future.
Draenei with long tails: In an interview, it was additionally revealed that Draenei will also receive new customizations. Female Draenei, for instance, will have the ability to choose a different length for their tails. The files for this have long been present in WoW but were previously reserved for NPCs.
More hairstyles for all races: Basically, the developers also want to increase the number of available hairstyles for all races. This has been occasionally done in the past for individual species, but this time all races will receive new hairstyles for more options.
Eye color separate from face: For most WoW races, the eye color is currently tied to the respective face. This should change in the future. Players will then be able to choose an eye color freely without necessarily having to choose a specific face.
These are just a few examples. In the coming weeks and months, the developers aim to reveal even more of the new customizations.
