World of Warcraft's The War Within Expansion Introduces Solo Raid Story Mode for Solo Players

World of Warcraft offers a sprawling narrative that a lot of players, unfortunately, don't get to experience if they play purely solo, as the climactic events often take place during massive raids, meaning you'll need a squad on to beat them.

However, in the new The War Within expansion, a story mode feature will change that, as it'll allow solo players to take on the toughest raid bosses by themselves and fully experience the story. Speaking with PC Gamer, associate game director Morgan Day said that story mode could come to legacy content too.

Day mentioned the strength of World of Warcraft's extensive content and the team's efforts to leverage it better, noting that they are always exploring new and different ideas through projects like Remix.

Day still wants to keep raids as an important part of WoW but also understands the story players' need for more narrative. In the past, raids were accessible only to a small group of people, but they have greatly expanded the core audience of raids. While respecting that raids are for these people, Day also acknowledges the importance of the story to other players.
