The highly anticipated second run of the Plunderstorm event in World of Warcraft has encountered a hiccup, causing a delay due to unforeseen issues. Originally set to launch before the end of January 14, 2025, fans of this pirate-themed battle royale mode will need to wait a bit longer to dive back into the action. Despite the setback, World of Warcraft remains committed to getting Plunderstorm up and running before the day is over, but no specific new launch time has been announced yet.
Introduced during the Dragonflight expansion in 2024, Plunderstorm quickly became a fan favorite, offering both original and new rewards for players to collect. The event was supposed to return with exciting new features like the Plunderstore and an in-game event interface, which might be the culprits behind the current delay. As World of Warcraft works to resolve these issues, players can still enjoy other in-game activities, such as completing Siren Isle weeklies or participating in the second week of the Turbulent Timeways event within The War Within.
While waiting for Plunderstorm to go live, players can take advantage of the new Plunderstorm Twitch Drops. By watching four hours of any World of Warcraft stream on Twitch before February 4 at 10 AM PST, you can earn the exclusive Coward’s Azure Target back transmog. The good news is that the streamer doesn't need to be playing Plunderstorm for you to earn this reward, giving you plenty of options to enjoy while anticipating the return of this thrilling game mode.
