In Blizzard’s upcoming expansion, World of Warcraft: Midnight, players will engage in a unique ‘Prey’ system, which adds an element of risk and excitement to exploring the open world. The Prey system enables players to target enemies, who can retaliate and ambush them, adding a thrilling twist to gameplay.
“Prey was a feature that we were talking about pretty early on… we wanted to create an exciting way to engage players in the outdoor world,” says Paul Kubit, Associate Game Director.
This innovative system is designed not only to challenge players but to make their gameplay experience more engaging and immersive. Hopefully, the community will welcome this addition, as designers seek to enhance the outdoor world content in intriguing ways. Maria Hamilton, Design Director, expressed initial doubts about the mechanics but acknowledges the overwhelmingly positive player feedback.
Also, learn how this initiative draws inspiration from past World of Warcraft mechanics, aiming to bring nostalgic elements into modern gameplay.
