For players who ever felt a little queasy — or worse — when stepping into some of World of Warcraft’s more mobile dungeons, relief is officially on the way. Blizzard’s encounter design team announced that it had come up with a solution to address the motion sickness that some people experienced in the Grimrail and Maw of Souls dungeons.

By talking to a “motion sick” peon in selected dungeons, players can purchase a special elixir that will replace the moving backgrounds with a more static one without changing anything else about the instance.

“As mentioned in the video this is currently a one-off solution for places we’ve identified motion sickness as a concern due to background motion, but we hope it’s helpful for those affected and we’ll keep an eye out for any other places where it might be applicable,” said the studio.

Activision-Blizzard is considered a controversial gaming company owing to a long string of scandals over the last few years, including the Blitzchung boycott, mass layoffs, labor disputes, and executive pay fiasco. In 2021, the company was sued by California for fostering a work environment rife with sexual harassment and discrimination, the disastrous corporate response to which compounded Blizzard’s ongoing pipeline issues and the widespread perception that its online games are in decline. Multiple state and federal agencies are investigating the company as employees strike and call for Bobby Kotick’s resignation. As of 2022, the company is being acquired by no less than Microsoft.
