Blizzard is set to release World of Warcraft’s Patch 11.2, titled “Ghosts of K’aresh”, on August 5th. The update brings new zones and a variety of systems, one of which is the “ecological succession” system. This system involves filling eco-domes with life through world quests and daily activities, offering rewards such as pets and mounts.
The process is divided into phases, each with unique creatures, resources, and environmental challenges. Players’ actions in completing quests, restoring balance, and defeating threats affect the evolution of the world’s ecosystem. A preview for August’s trading post offers has been shared, featuring a chess theme.
