E3: Details on Upcoming World of WarCraft Content

Reporting from the show floor at this year's E3, GameSpot has the scoop on some of the new content Blizzard has planned for their hit MMORPG, World of WarCraft. They have a full write-up on a brand new outdoor instance called Zul'Aman and touch on the previously announced voice-chat and guild bank features.

Here's a little snippet:

The big news is the new Zul'Aman area, an outdoor dungeon in the mid-level Ghostlands area near the blood elves' homeland. The dungeon is inhabited by the forest trolls who first made their debut in Blizzard's real-time strategy game Warcraft II. ("Trolls love the outdoors," explains vice president of game design Rob Pardo.) The vast outdoor zone consists of ruined stone temples that reflect the trolls' shamanic beliefs growing through thick forests of trees. According to the story that Blizzard has penned for the area, Zul'Aman is the home of the troll warriors led by Zul'jin (a character from Warcraft II) and has become a stronghold from which the trolls have begun attacking the blood elves, thanks to a newfound power that a troll witch doctor has discovered. Apparently, this powerful troll spiritualist has somehow managed to steal away the essences of four troll animal gods and confer them to four mighty troll warriors. These avatars act as the early "boss" encounters for the dungeon.

There's no word on when these new features will be released, but the voice chat and guild banks are expected out before the new dungeon. We'll keep you posted!
