Do you believe in coincidences? How about meticulously planned cross-media marketing synergies? Either way, prepare to have your mind oh-so-slightly blown as World of Warcraft tests its Un’Goro Madness event just a week after Blizzard revealed the upcoming Un’Goro-themed expansion for Hearthstone!
The micro-holiday, which isn’t scheduled to arrive in WoW until this August, will populate Un’Goro crater with giant elite dinosaurs from all over the game. During the event, players are supposed to hunt down and kill these majestic beasts for their “adaptations.” These adaptations give players strange temporary abilities, such as being unstuck in time and secreting toxins.
It should also be noted that today marks the very first run of the brand-new Mists of Pandaria timewalking dungeon events. Players can use the unique timewalking system to level scale to old dungeons and enjoy appropriate rewards.
If you don’t mind spoilers, you can get an early preview of the Un’Goro event after the jump!
