World of Warcraft's Plunderstorm Event Delayed
Due to unforeseen technical difficulties, the highly anticipated return of World of Warcraft's Plunderstorm event has been postponed. While initially slated for January 14th, 2025, Blizzard has not yet provided a revised launch time.
Plunderstorm, a popular pirate-themed battle royale mode introduced during the Dragonflight expansion in 2024, was set to return with both original and new rewards. However, unexpected issues arose during the planned server maintenance, delaying the launch indefinitely. Although Blizzard aims to launch Plunderstorm before the end of January 14th, players should anticipate further delays.
Current Status:
- Launch Date: Postponed; before the end of January 14th, 2025 (pending resolution of unforeseen issues).
In the meantime, players can engage in other World of Warcraft activities, including completing Siren Isle weeklies, participating in the Turbulent Timeways event, or pursuing other content within the game.
The delay may be related to new features added for this iteration of Plunderstorm, such as the Plunderstore and an in-game event interface.
Despite the event delay, World of Warcraft's Plunderstorm Twitch Drops remain active. Viewers can earn the Coward’s Azure Target transmog by watching four hours of any World of Warcraft Twitch stream before February 4th at 10 AM PST. The streamer does not need to be playing Plunderstorm.
