Wildstar
WildStar is about to get a little more wild with a new batch of content. Today, Carbine Studios announced its MMO's first update, Strain Ultra Drop, will inject Nexus with new areas, items, and solo missions.
The Strain introduces a new zone called Blighthaven and a remixed version of Northern Wilds, now called Northern Wastes. In addition to new exploring areas, players can also earn Strain-themed mounts and gear, as well as try out new game types like the Guardians of the Grove tower defense group event. Carbine says it will be pushing out new content like this on a monthly basis.
The Strain releases the first week of July, but we have some screens to hold you over until then. For more on the core game, check out our first impressions and watch our Test Chamber.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
