World of Warcraft Patch 11.1: A Tribute to Mats Steen and Undermine's Expansion
World of Warcraft's upcoming Patch 11.1, potentially releasing around February 25th, holds exciting new content. This includes an expansion of the Undermine storyline and a touching tribute to the late Mats Steen, a beloved player, through the addition of an NPC: Lord Ibelin Redmoore.
This NPC, discovered by dataminers, is a direct homage to Steen's iconic World of Warcraft character. The "Private Investigator" title reflects Steen's renowned roleplaying as a detective in Stormwind. While the exact nature of the in-game tribute remains a mystery, speculation ranges from appearances in Stormwind taverns to recreating his well-known travel route. The possibility of an appearance on the Public Test Realm prior to the full release adds to the anticipation.
Patch 11.1 marks the first major content update for "World of Warcraft: The War Within," focusing primarily on Undermine. However, the inclusion of Lord Ibelin Redmoore adds a deeply personal and emotional layer to the update. This marks the third tribute to Ibelin within the game, following a recreated gravesite and a charity-related in-game item. The enduring impact of Steen's story is clearly evident in Blizzard's multifaceted memorialization.
