Upcoming World of Wacraft expansion, Wrath of the Lich King, will feature a large area dedicated to PvP, says Blizzard.
A "cool part of Northrend is new big PvP zone. It's about the size of Westfall, and will be all-PvP - in no way, shape or form will we support PvE players in it," developer Jeff Kaplan tells UK magazine PC Zone.
He continues, "It'll be optional, but it'll be completely non-instanced, have multiple objectives, siege weapons and destructible buildings."
Kaplan goes on to promise that WoW adventurers will have their socks blown off when they first enter the new continent of Northrend.
"We absolutely need to make the entry to Northrend epic," he says. "...we originally had the entry to Burning Crusade's Dark Portal as a bunch of cohorts waling around, and people reacted badly. This really hammered home the fact that we needed to raise expectations on entering the expansions."
World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King is expected to launch this year, though Blizzard has yet to confirm a date.
The full interview appears in issue #190 of PC Zone, on UK newsstands today.
