Today is a big day for new releases, but Blizzard is also making sure to note that one of its biggest games has received its latest patch. World of Warcraft is now at Patch 6.2, subtitled Fury of Hellfire. As a patch that warrants a subtitle may imply, it is introducing a slew of new features.

An entirely new zone has been introduced called the Tanaan Jungle. Remember the original Warlords of Draenor trailer where Grommash Hellscream dared to cross Gul'dan? Well, now the dark warlock is on a path of furious vengeance and it's up to the heroes to stop him before his sinister plans come to fruition.

In addition to this, players will get a new Hellfire Citadel Raid that pits parties against the demonic Legion. Garrisons will receive a new Shipyard feature to help them take to the high seas. Classic Wrath of the Lich King and Burning Crusade dungeons will now be available. And if all this sounds just a little too easy, there's also the new Mythic dungeon difficulty setting, which will make dungeons much harder in exchange for greater rewards. This is in addition to new armor, pets, bonus events, and the usual slew of bug fixes and balance tweaks.

But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
