World of Warcraft developer Blizzard Entertainment has revealed a new location set to grace its upcoming Warlords of Draenor expansion pack, which raises the game’s level cap to 100 and adds a whole swath of new areas, playable content, and gives the game its first major graphical overhaul since… well, ever.
The developer unveiled the Tanaan Jungle as the expansion’s first major area, where players are set to encounter a number of orc heroes and warlords who call the land their base of operations.
"Your first steps into Draenor will be within the wilds of Tanaan Jungle, where the Iron Horde has staged their assault on Azeroth," Blizzard wrote on its official blog for World of Warcraft.
"With these new attacks, you'll be charged with leading the greatest heroes of this age in the counterstrike. This is an invasion that can't be ignored and the Horde and the Alliance are both set on taking the offensive before it's too late.
"Shutting down the Dark Portal is your first priority, but the mission may quickly go awry.
"Even if you do manage to seal the portal, your party will still be trapped in the middle of a hostile army.Your only option is to fight your way out.
"You might even be forced to accept the help of the infamous Gul'dan. Fortunately, you'll also have luminaries such as Thrall, Khadgar, and Vindicator Maraad by your side.
"You'll also meet some new heroes who will take up arms for you: the brutal Frostwolf warrior Ga'nar, and a promising young draenei acolyte named Yrel.”
The expansion is set for release by the end of the year.
