World of Warcraft’s new Season of Discovery is off to a roaring start, according to a recent official video released by the game’s developer, Blizzard. The seasonal experience, which offers new abilities, class roles, and instances, has already garnered significant attention and engagement from players.
With the release of Season of Discovery, many have speculated that Blizzard is testing the waters for the long-rumored Classic+ game mode. The early success of the game, particularly in comparison to other Classic options, has been a topic of interest within the gaming community.
In the first week after its release, players have created over 4.5 million characters in Season of Discovery, a staggering number that speaks to the game’s popularity. Additionally, players have uncovered over 10 million Runes, a key feature in the game, with only a small percentage managing to collect all 12 available to their class.
Despite the relatively low percentage of players reaching the level cap of 25 and completing the ten-man raid adaptation of Blackfathom Deeps, there is still plenty of optimism surrounding the game’s early success.
As the game advances through its planned phases, including level caps of 40, 50, and eventually 60, Blizzard is likely to closely monitor the player engagement and progression. The video released by World of Warcraft provides valuable insight into the game’s early achievements, setting the stage for potential future successes as Season of Discovery continues to evolve.
