In related news, Kotaku published the new Druid Cat forms in the game. Most of the players who saw the screenshots and footages agreed that it looks remarkable. In addition, the same source revealed a new arena map called Ashamane's Fall.

It is also reported that there are two new arenas in the upcoming Warcraft expansion. Black Rock Hold was teased before, but Blizzard just shared images of the second one.
