Summary

  • The Plunderstorm battle royale mode in World of Warcraft will end on February 25 with the release of Patch 11.1.
  • Players have two weeks to finish earning pirate-themed rewards such as mounts and armor.
  • The launch of Patch 11.1 will be followed by The War Within Season 2 on March 4.

As a dedicated World of Warcraft fan, I was recently notified on February 11th that the exhilarating Plunderstorm battle royale game mode is set to conclude on February 25th, leaving us with only two weeks left to snatch up those enticing pirate-themed rewards. This final farewell to Plunderstorm will coincide with the highly anticipated release of World of Warcraft Patch 11.1, which brings us one step closer to the next installment of The War Within expansion story.

After experiencing a triumphant debut in Dragonflight Patch 10.2.6, the game mode known as Plunderstorm returned in January 2025 following an almost year-long hiatus. This exciting event takes place within the Arathi Basin and allows World of Warcraft players to join a 60-player battle royale via queue. The aim is to collect Plunder while eliminating opponents, with the objective being to emerge victorious. In its second season, Blizzard revamped and added new abilities and items based on player feedback, introduced the Plunderstore as an easy way to spend Plunder on cosmetic rewards, and enabled players to join Plunderstorm even while engaged in The War Within gameplay.

Despite being available for more than a month, the thrilling Plunderstorm game mode is set to depart from World of Warcraft once again, according to Blizzard Entertainment. The departure of Plunderstorm is scheduled for February 25, marking the arrival of the Undermined content update in The War Within. With Patch 11.1, players will venture into The Undermine, the subterranean home city of goblins, to quell a coup instigated by Jastor Gallywix. In this raid, Jastor Gallywix, the overthrown leader of Bilgewater Cartel and an ally of The War Within’s primary antagonist, Xal’atath, will serve as the final boss. Following the launch of Undermined, The War Within Season 2 is set to commence on March 4, featuring a fresh rotation of Mythic+ Dungeons, the Undermine raid, and class balance adjustments.

When Will Plunderstorm’s Second Run End?

  • February 25 with the release of Patch 11.1.

Players of World of Warcraft have two weeks from the time this message was written to gather as many cosmetic rewards and achievements as they desire, such as mounts, battle pets, and transformation sets. Furthermore, players who manage to amass 5,000 Plunder during Plunderstorm gameplay will receive an in-game email containing a Storm-Singed Plunder Chest. This chest can be opened for tokens that can be traded for unique loot chests. These loot chests may contain armor tailored to specific classes, including gear of item level 610.

It’s unclear if the treasure chests in World of Warcraft will vanish before Patch 11.1 is released, so players should go ahead and claim them right away. Additionally, there have been requests for Plunderstorm to return with fresh maps at a future date after it departs from World of Warcraft. The exact moment when Plunderstorm will dock again on Azeroth remains to be seen.
