The Dynamic and Revolutionary Improvements to Vehicular Experiences (D.R.I.V.E.) mount system marks an innovative addition in Patch 11.1, allowing players to build and customize their own vehicles through Nanny Talullah’s challenges. Once equipped, players can tackle four diverse racing courses, both forward and in reverse, enhancing the gameplay experience.

Players within the overworld will have the opportunity to ally with one of four primary Goblin factions: Steamwheedle, Blackwater, Bilgewater, or the Venture Company, reminiscent of the Azj-Kahet Pacts mechanics. Each week, players can select a faction to support, unlocking transmogs, toys, D.R.I.V.E. customizations, and additional rewards. Surprisingly, Blizzard hinted at the potential emergence of a secret fifth cartel, possibly representing the nefarious Darkfuse.

As Season 2 approaches, players can look forward to the orchestration of the Liberation of Undermine raid, the Operation: Floodgate dungeon, and the introduction of three new Delves: Excavation Site 9, Side Street Sluice, and a secret boss zone reminiscent of Zekvir. This season will also bring Goblin-themed buffs, the Delver’s Gob-Trotter mount, and a challenging new PvP arena called Cage of Carnage, promising an update rich in content for players eager to explore.
