WoW: Forever senior game designer says there is 'really well-buried stuff' in the game 'that's going to take people a long time to find' that was 'turned off' for the beta — 'There's going to be things to discover that we didn't surface'
Blizzard Entertainment has confirmed that World of Warcraft: Forever features thousands of secrets, like items, that were turned off in the beta.
Senior game designer Josh "Aggrend" Greenfield has revealed that World of Warcraft: Forever still contains thousands of undiscovered secrets, many of which were turned off for the beta. In a recent podcast, Greenfield and other WoW: Forever developers discussed the vast amount of content that remains hidden. Some of these secrets include items and recipes, but the developer declined to disclose more details.
Greenfield explained that the team has been working on the game for a long time and has added many hidden elements in various locations across the game world. He emphasized that Blizzard wants players to discover these secrets on their own, as revealing too much would diminish the excitement. Many of these hidden secrets are so well-buried that even data miners will struggle to uncover them.
Some of these hidden features may be reintroduced in future WoW: Forever content, such as the Manor Mistmantle, which was recently discovered in Duskwood. Lead encounter designer Michael Nuthals hinted at the possibility of finding instance portals in inconspicuous spots throughout the game. WoW: Forever is set to launch on November 4, and the game's beta officially concluded today after a brief extension.
