World of Warcraft Patch 3.3 Preview

Calling it “the most ambitious patch since 3.0”, Ten Ton Hammer brings us a two-page synopsis of what we should expect from Blizzard’s v3.3 update for World of Warcraft.

The focal point of the patch, and ultimately of the entire expansion, lies behind the Deathgates of Icecrown, where Arthas sits upon his frozen throne awaiting the heroes of Azeroth. Led by the Ashen Verdict, the newly combined forces of the Knights of the Ebon Blade and the Argent Crusade, players finally get the chance to vanquish the Lich King once and for all.

The instance will continue the format that has been refined throughout the expansion, featuring ten and twenty five player raid zones with both normal and heroic modes. There will also be a five player dungeon in the area with regular and heroic modes as well. The raid instance features twelve encounters for players to conquer, with multiple wings and the usual host of liches, dragons, patchworks and undead oh my!
