Patch 7.3 of World of Warcraft has a release date. And there is also a nice cinematic!
The Gamescom shouldn’t be a major highlight for fans of World of Warcraft. After all, it has been confirmed that information about the next expansion is still absent.
But Ion Hazzikostas, the Game Director of World of Warcraft, managed to create an exciting show regardless. He listed not only the biggest features of Argus but also brought a release date for the patch!
Patch 7.3 in WoW is coming next week
Accordingly, “Shadows of Argus” will be released next week – on 30.08.2017 in Europe. In America, the patch goes live (as usual) a few hours earlier.
But that wasn’t all. Hazzikostas also promised that the latest patch will feature a whole series of spectacular in-game cinematics that will cover the story of Argus and the biggest twists of the plot. He presented the first cinematic right at the beginning – the departure from Azeroth.
With the release of Patch 7.3, players will be summoned to the Exodar by Prophet Velen. There, the Vindicaar, a small part of the Exodar, is ready for departure. All the important characters (and especially plenty of Draenei) have gathered to take the fight to Argus.
But Illidan is also on board the ship, once again playing the edgelord of evil conscience by questioning Velen’s actions. Is it really the path of light that Velen is still following? Or is that just an excuse he has been using for millennia to remain inactive?
The conflicts between Illidan, Velen, and the Army of Light will surely be further developed in the upcoming cinematics. Alleria and Turalyon will also have their say on Argus.
Although Patch 7.3 will be released next week, the raid “Antorus, the Burning Throne” will not be unlocked at the same time. Players are still busy with the Tomb of Sargeras, and there is “plenty of story on Argus” to experience.
What do you think of the first Argus cinematic? Is the hype train already rolling? Or does Illidan’s rambling leave you cold?
(Cortyn says: Choo-choo!)
Patch 7.3 is, by the way, the last major content update – but there is still story!
