World of Warcraft Patch 11.1: A Tribute to Mats Steen and Undermine Expansion
World of Warcraft's upcoming Patch 11.1, potentially releasing around February 25th, promises exciting new content, including a heartfelt tribute to the late Mats Steen, a beloved player featured in the documentary "The Remarkable Life of Ibelin."
This patch introduces Lord Ibelin Redmoore, an NPC directly inspired by Steen's in-game character. Datamined information reveals the NPC's title as "Private Investigator," a nod to Steen's renowned roleplaying career as a detective in Stormwind. While the exact nature of the tribute remains a mystery, speculation suggests appearances in Stormwind taverns or along Steen's well-known travel route. This addition marks the third in-game tribute to Steen, following a replica of his grave and a charity-related fox pet.
Beyond the emotional tribute, Patch 11.1 expands the Undermine storyline, offering new adventures within the Goblin capital city. The update's potential appearance on the Public Test Realm (PTR) months prior to the official release date will allow players to discover the extent of these additions early. This significant content update for World of Warcraft: The War Within promises a rich and varied experience for players.
