The Undermine(d) Content Update Goes Live February 25 in World of Warcraft

World of Warcraft’s Undermine(d) update  and The War Within Season 2 get launch dates, while Plunderstorm is preparing to say goodbye again. We also get a preview of the Liberation of Undermine raid and unlock schedule.

You can head to the goblin city of Undermine, join a cartel, take on two new delves and a new dungeon, when the update arrives on February 25th. On that same day, Plunderstorm will end, so if you have any Plunder left to spend, you have two weeks to pick out something nice for yourself. 

Speaking of raids, The Liberation of Undermine raid will unlock with the arrival of The War Within Season 2 on March 4th. The raid will feature eight bosses, including the Chrome King Gallywix. Undermine is full of goblins, inventions, humor, explosions, and cartels, and they all seem to mix in this new raid. 

You’ve got the next two weeks to tie up any loose ends and redeem some loot before the next big update arrives, and later, a new season.

Plunderstorm Ends February 25

The Plunderstorm is nearing its end. Players have until the launch of the content update to dive back into the fray before the storm passes once more. Spend your well-earned Plunder in the new Plunderstore for great new rewards, test your mettle with new spells at your fingertips, explore new points of interest on the map, and more! Each match is 10-15 minutes long and has 60 players per match, with the winner being the last one standing. Level up and acquire new abilities and spells by killing creatures and enemies, looting chests, and avoiding the encroaching storm. Learn more in our previously published arrrticle.


Zone Overview: Enter the Hub of Goblin Ingenuity in Undermine(d)

As the adventure continues in The War Within, travel deep into the capital of the goblin's trade empire—Undermine. Continue the pursuit of Xal'atath and confront Gallywix's forces in the sprawling city streets of a city suffering from the conflict between the four major Cartels—Bilgewater, Blackwater, Steamwheedle, and Venture Co.

While in Undermine, learn more about goblin culture and society, what's important to them, the problems they are trying to solve, everything that makes them truly unique, and what they're capable of as a society. We'll dig deeper beyond their humor and explosions, though there will still be explosions and a LOT of mayhem to be found. Learn more in our previously published article.


Undermine(d): No License Needed to D.R.I.V.E.

Earn a new customizable vehicle and engage in D.R.I.V.E. as you drift at high speed through the streets of Undermine.

A cool acronym needs a cool meaning, and the goblins haven’t skimped on the meaning of D.R.I.V.E.’s. Standing for Dynamic and  Revolutionary  Improvements to Vehicular Experiences,  you’ll want to make sure you have your sweet ride to roll around town in.

Players can earn the customizable G-99 Breakneck vehicle to use exclusively in their adventures within Undermine. You’ll push the boundaries of locomotion on the roads speeding through its causeways and byways at a higher rate than a ground mount can. Learn more in our previously published article.

New Delves Ahead

The launch of Undermine(d) will introduce two new Delves – Sidestreet Sluice and Excavation Side 9 – along with a new tank specialization for Brann. Delves in season 2 will introduce new rewards, curios, a new nemesis, and improved rewards at the highest difficulty! Season 2 will also increase the difficulty of all delves from tier 4 and above.


New PvP Arena: Cage of Carnage

Found in the Demolition Dome, the Cage of Carnage is a close-quarter gladiatorial arena where players are dropped in through trap doors separated only by a haphazard metal platform equipped with ramps at every corner. This map is available at launch.
