Blizzard say in a video that matches tend to start out with players battling monsters and plundering booty, getting their builds together, before pushing more into PvP as the match draws on and players are pushed closer. It’ll support solos and duos, put in separate matches.
Plunderstorm is a separate mode, accessed through a whole separate option on the main menu. While your characters start over each match, it does have persistent progression to unlock rewards on your usual account. You can score pirate-y outfits, titles, a parrot mount, a crab pet, and more. The mode isn’t tied to an expansion, so all active players can join in, even Classic, though Classic folks will need to download the modern client.
The Plunderstorm update starts rolling out today in North America, due to hit European servers tomorrow. While it will initially run for a few weeks, associate game director Jeremy Feasel said that “depending on player feedback, we will see what the future of Plunderstorm looks like.” See Blizzard’sPlunderstorm announcementand theUpdate 10.2.6 patch notesfor more info on everything.
